Our Mission
- Culture Dance and History: Since our root is very important to us, we teach children the different types of dance and drums where it originated and when it is danced or drum played, also we educate the children about our History that is Africa in general, what we do and do not.
- Creative Art work: In Africa and Ghana to be precise are many resources available to us. We educate these children how to use our raw materials to make useable items to our benefits and to others. Such are sachet rubber to make bags, wallets, purse etc.; Calabash to make decorative designs; Paper to make beads; wood to make picture frames and patterns.
- Orchestra Performing: With the help of other music organizations such as Musiker Ohne Grenzen and Volunteers, children learn how to play different musical instruments such Cello, Violin, Flute, Viola, Oboe, Clarinet, Piano, Basoon, Trumpet etc. This gives them opportunity to have a skill.
- Language Skills: We know language is a barrier to many thing mostly international trading. We therefore teach these children different forms of languages both local and foreign such as German, Spanish, and French etc.
- Health Education: We educate children about personal hygiene and the need to avoid certain common diseases. We also motivate young ones who wish to be doctors and nurses in future.
- Sports: We engage boys and girls in sporting games such as soccer, basketball, tennis, athletics, rugby etc. through our partnership with local coaches in the community we are able to support talented children.
