October is Building Community Month

A community is a group of people with common interests and goals. Some have defined community as a group of people who live in the same neighborhood or share an environment. But we know that community means more than that. Many children who attend Timbuktu Academy live in the neighborhood surrounding the school, but the Timbuktu Academy community is much bigger than that. Included in our community are those who share the interest and goals of helping our children advance academically, socially and behaviorally. Staff and families of children are included in the Timbuktu Academy community, but so too are the organizations and business that support the development of our children, including Alkebulan Village, Operation Get Down, Full & Fabulous, Wayne County Community College, National Organization of Minority Architects, and many more.

As the economy worsens, our community will have to become much closer so that the needs of our children continue to be met and they remain healthy, strong and motivated to learn. There are some basic principles for creating and maintaining community that we would like to share. Click on the link below to see more.

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/.
