Quote of the Month: "He who obeys his belly belongs to the enemy". Ptahhotep

5th01.jpgTimbuktu Academy of Science and Technology is an African-centered school that strives to create an environment that nurtures children. In all that we do and say, help mold whole, healthy, confident and conscious children. To do this we - as instructional leaders, guides and examples to the young people we serve - strive for excellence in all that we do.

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.

Support Ayensudo Akoma International Academy

academy.jpgContributions 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.
