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 African Centered Education (ACE): Designed and administered properly, ACE prepares Black
children to value their humanity, to have dignity and pride, to strive for the very best, to work hard, to build relationships
based on integrity and equality and to never give up. The representations of Black people in the media, schools, prisons,
etc., present distorted images and conflicting messages. African centered educators strive to not only correct these representations
through critical analysis, scientific inquiry and in depth discussions, but also strive to assist children to define their
purpose in life and chart the path toward its fulfillment. The
foundations of what people will ultimately become are laid during childhood.

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

provide an educational experience to see treasures of Africa and provide and safe and punctual ride to and from school.
