Ishangi

Mission Statement:

“One cannot love his neighbor unless he is aware of his neighbor. We hope through the understanding of each other’s culture that peace and global harmony will come to mankind, so that we can protect the only home we have ever known, the planet earth.” Baba Ishangi. 

Sankofa, an Akan proverb states that it is all right to go back and retrieve what was once yours and lost. Re-discover culture! Cultural awareness leads to understanding; understanding leads to tolerance and tolerance leads to peaceful co-existence of diverse nations.

Our Aim:

To inspire young people, and all people, to claim a life of love and respect for themselves and their fellow man through Sankofa: go back and take from the past that which may be used in the present to shape a better future.

Motto:

Culture and tradition gives us identity and direction.
