Why Harambee?
In the Swahili language, Harambee
means “all pull together”.
Following Kenya's independence in 1963, President Jomo Kenyatta adopted the concept of Harambee
as an important tool in the process of nation building.
The national motto of Kenya, Harambee symbolizes a
proud tradition of neighbor helping neighbor - communally
lifting each other up.
Harambee events may range from informal affairs
lasting a few hours (in which invitations are spread by word
of mouth), to formal, multi-day events advertised via the mass
media. These get-togethers have long been important in parts
of East
Africa, as ways to build and maintain strong and vibrant
communities.
Harambee Farm is being developed as a 'meeting
place', an 'incubator' (for the nurturing of sport horses - as well as ideas,
socially progressive programs and the arts) and a 'haven of
rest' for family, friends and honored guests.
As we seek connection within the diverse and socially
welcoming communities of the Carolina hunt country, we
actively embrace the philosophy of Harambee - in our
personal, intellectual and professional lives.
