A Father's Day Poem Anonymous  A Dad is a person who is loving and kind, And often he knows what you have on your mind. He's someone who listens, suggests, and defends. A dad can be one of your very best friends! He's proud of your triumphs, but when things go wrong, A dad can be patient and helpful and strong In all that you do, a dad's love plays a part. There's always a place for him deep in your heart. And each year that passes, you're even more glad, More grateful and proud just to call him your dad! Thank you, Dad... for listening and caring, for giving and sharing, but, especially, for just being you!

Support Ayensudo Akoma International Academy

Contributions are needed to purchase a bus/van and cover the costs of tuition for children whose families cannot afford to pay the cost of tuition.  Supporting a child for an entire year costs about $250. This includes education and meals. Any contribution would go far, however, no matter how large or small.  If you would like to contribute, call Ida Taylor at (313) 823-6000 or email itaylor@timbuktuacademy.org. Ayensudo Akoma International Academy of Arts and Sciences (AAIAAS), independently founded and operated by E. Malkia Brantuo (and co-founder of Timbuktu Academy), is located in Ayensudu village, 250 miles north of Accra Ghana in West Africa.  AAIAAS struggles to serve, without government assistance, over 150 children with quality education including uniforms and 2 meals per day.  Most of the children have never been further than 5 miles from their home. The bus will provide an educational experience to see treasures of Africa and provide and safe and punctual ride to and from school.  Visit AAIAAS's website at: http://planetafrica.org/aaiaas/.  AAIAAS is mentioned in the article below.
