Sankofa: Looking back to envision the future.

In this issue we are looking back to envision the future, inspired by the Adinkra symbol, Sankofa, that we've chosen to incorporate in this year's Gala logo in our Awards Gala announcement. In these pages, you'll discover inspiring stories of African leaders making transformative impacts, innovative programs, and collaborative partnerships. Read updates about our School Services program, archival work with the Mellon Foundation and out alumni. Also, learn about the connections our team made this year at NYAFF, NEIC and the Global Healing Accra Summit II.
