NAKland: Children's Carnival & Community Resource Fair-SDSU

In an effort to surpass every Pledge-Fest before it, the Beta Chapter at San Diego State University organized an event that would combine culture and community service, a free children's carnival. At this event there were over 100 brothers of the organization and about 65 potential new members in attendance. These individuals helped put together the first ever NAKLand Children's Carnival where the

re were several small booths, astro-jump, toys, prizes, gifts, and food, free of charge. NAK at San Diego State University has continued the NAKland tradition providing the carnival for children throughout the years. Since the first NAKland in 1999, our attendance has gone up from 100 to 300 children in April 2003. Although, originally held in November; NAKLand was moved to April to celebrate the Mexican holiday Día De Los Niños (Children's Day) which falls on the last day of April. This holiday commemorating children, falls in early April in the United States. Día De Los Niños celebrates and honors the children of the community for their efforts in and out of school by giving them a day to receive toys, candy, money, and most of all, recognition of their future worth.
