The more the merrier!

Just wanted to stop by and recognize the people who are supporting us by donating their time, materials, electronics, funding and/or whatever else they have to offer. Gisela, Robert, Joe, Bob and Eliana we thank you dearly. Special thanks to Tara, Tim, Stomp and Scott who have been with us in the past. We look forward to your continued support. We are currently planning fundraising events in order to reach monthly goals for the next 5 months before heading back to Africa to build.

This is quite an exciting venture! The ecstatic sensation that thrills you knowing that, at the end of the day, you have done something to help improve and completely transform the lives of young people who genuinely need you. The vision to rebuild our communities, to equip young people with tools for survival, to preserve culture,  this vision is alive in us. Indeed, it is our duty to put forth the effort and SHOW them that we care. Do join us!...The more the merrier!

In prep mode!

First of all, thank you for your interest in and warm thoughts about the Akan Culture Center. We are in prep mode for the next trip to Africa! Due to the uncertainty of the previous rental agreement, we have decided that it is time to build, from the ground up, our very own traditional style school on Nacom's  72 acre land which rests just above the river banks in Mango, Togo. We are in need of volunteers who can help fundraising and who are specialized or educated in the fields of video-graphy and computer technology.

Our goal is to raise money to send volunteers, along with a container full of construction contents and school materials such as computers, desks, software, external hard drives etc. In order to reach our goal, we will host fundraising events each month between California, Utah and Colorado. Please register and contact us via email if you would like to assist in these events where a combination of Nacom's art, tribal art and collected/donated art will be auctioned or sold to raise funds. These items will also be available for purchase online.

Again, thank you for your continued support and prayers!
