MONTH OF MAY 2021


 

CELEBRATION OF AFRICA DAY


 

Africa Day is celebrated every year on 25 May to commemorate the founding of the Organisation of African Unity (African Union). Africa Day is intended to celebrate and acknowledge African solidarity, unity in diversity, creativity, challenges and successes.

It is clear that there are 54 member states in the African Union. Africa Day is a day for all African countries. However, Africa Day is officially observed as a public holiday in only twelve African countries, Ghana, Mali, Namibia, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Angola, Chad, Comoros, Equatorial Guinea, Lesotho, Liberia and Mauritania.
However, due to the Pandemic the holiday and the usual festive observance across Africa have been suspended or will be limited in most countries.
We ask that you observe this day with us silently and through photos understanding that our history is rich and we must take the time to understand our history and learn more about the people of Africa!

Dear African Woman

Dear African Woman Only you can understand what it means to be an African queen What is means to be black, bold and beautiful   Dear African Woman For centuries you have been told that your place is in the kitchen You have been boxed to build your world right in the shadows of men And your gifts, they are buried with the umbilical chords of your children yet to be born   You have worked the fields and cooked the meals You have cared for the children and fed the men You have been the backbone of this continent   Yet, my dear African Woman you do not know who you are   You are the light that shines in the darkness The beacon that restores hope into our hearts The source of strength and courage An embodiment of masculinity and feminity The perfect being   You are the home keeper, the nation builder the tear wiper, the smile giver the support system and life line of the continent You are more beautiful than a flower in the Savannah Your smile is like falling snow on a drought striken land Your kinky Afro is like the soft cushions of clouds in the sky   You come in many shades: Beige, Chocolate, Caramel, Mocha Hazel nut, Honey, Espresso, Ivory, Olive, Ebony   You are sweeter than Oreo’s dunked in milk You are warmer than hot cocoa in the dry season during a storm You are goodness You are wonder You are grace You are kindness You are fearless You are lovely All wrapped in one   Dear African Woman, no matter where you are No matter how you think you look no matter how you see yourself you are a special gift to the world   Rise up and make that change in the world Be that difference Lift your head high like the queen you are meant to be For you are good enough You are strong enough You are beautiful enough And my dear African Woman You are just enough

2021 Holiday Season for our children will be phenomenal as we work hard to try and get dolls for our little girls

Donate towards purchasing a doll for a 🇬🇭Princess

International Womens Month
Is truly show us African Queens
Thanks @fuseodg for this line of dolls.

Founded by Afrobeats Superstar Fuse ODG, Nana Dolls is on a mission to champion the beauty of Africa and promote self-love, especially in young children.

Children are highly influenced by the world around them, and so it is our job to make sure we give them the best foundation to build on, teaching them to love themselves and be proud of who they are.

What better way to instill this ‘self-love’ than through their favorite toys.

Nana Dolls have made it their goal to inspire children to love and take pride in their heritage in a world that makes it hard to do so at times, educating and empowering them through Nana Dolls and their stories.

“The dolls are inspired by historical African figures; brave and courageous women who did something extraordinary. It is vital for our children and future generations to know about these powerful women in history”

GHANA Will your Community Win? CLEAN UP!


KUMASI ONLY

Blessing those who work with Children to Clean their Community!

Cleanliness is next to Godliness and we are determined to keep our community clean.

Please join us in our efforts to teach the children the importance of cleaning.

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S MONTH

March We Celebrate International African Women in Africa and those living in the Diaspora International African Women’s History Month, is an annual declared month that highlights the contributions of women to events in history and contemporary society.

It is celebrated during March with International Women’s Day on March 8th Women of color are usually underrepresented in professional, high status jobs in law, medicine, academia, and business. When they do make it to these rarified roles but are the only ones in an organizational setting, they are more likely to doubt the company’s commitment to inclusion and equity and thus are more likely to want to pursue opportunities elsewhere.

LEGACY SHOE STORE

started as an idea as I drove from Hollywood and watched the shoe heads gather outside a popular shoe store at 6am to buy one pair of shoes at hundreds of dollars. Immediately I thought of my babies in Africa who had worn out shoes and no socks.
Since its opening in 2018 we have provided shoes for over 3,000 children, women & men.

I am reaching out for you for your support and help. Check your closet for a pair or two of sneakers or shoes (slightly used or new) that want to travel to Africa.

Black History Month and February Love Month is my FAVORITE Month of the Year. Nothing to spread but Love

Bridge to Africa Connection  extremely blessed!

On February 2, 2021 we were thrilled to witness the first birth at the Cordelia Sutherland Clinic in Feyaise.

A visit to the Clinic located at the Palace in Feyaise Akoyem, Ghana has further ignited the passion in me to fight to help others less fortunate. Their circumstances are not the results of choices they made but a failure of society to provide the basic needs required for a healthy productive community. I vow to not turn away but to take a leadership role to help the people of Feyaise minimize the unnecessary deaths of the children of the community. 

We are thankful for our Donors and Supporters from the Diaspora. However, a special thanks goes to Madam Barbara Perkins and the Women of IBWPPI .

How An African American Moved To Ghana To TakeCare Of Less Privileged Kids!

 

Youth of Africa Career Development (YACD)


is a US based 501(c) (3) non-profit organization.  YACD’s mission is to provide career training and workforce readiness support to youth that live in Africa.  YACD has collaborated with Bridge to Africa Connection, Inc. on a very unique & personalized pilot program that started on October 13, 2020.  The first roll out of this training specifically has targeted recent junior high school graduates whom are transitioning into the senior high school level. 

The core purpose of this program is to better equip existing BTAC’s program participants with soft skills that can be used within any workplace.  Through YACD’s career development curriculum, students are trained through several workplace role examples & needed skills that highlight specialized trainings in the areas such as resolving conflicts, effective communication skills, workplace ethics, goal setting & various other layers of workplace professional development.  YACD is also ensuring that BTAC’s students are adequately prepared to select a required major during their transition into Ghana’s high school system. 

Unlike many other countries around the world, Ghana’s Ministry of Education requires that all incoming high school students select a major before their entrance into senior high school.  For this reason, our program further supports youth with needed clarity & navigation through this system.  Every YACD student is provided a career assessment test which further reinforces their selected high school major & future career path option possibilities.  Our program also prepares youth to utilize life skills for their future success.  These life skills support our participants irrespective of their individual completions of their work at the secondary and/or college education levels.  The Youth of Africa Career Development is extremely proud to be in such a meaningful partnership with Bridge to Africa Connection, Inc.

International Day of the Girl is this weekend and BRIDGE-TO-AFRICA CONNECTION has partnered with GIRLS LIKE ME.


On Sunday, October 11, 2020, the Girls Like Me Project Inc. (GLMPI) will host its ninth annual Chicago Day of the Girl event in observance of International Day of the Girl International Day Of The Girl is meant to promote the empowerment of young girls everywhere, while also advocating for the attainment of their basic human rights, like education and bodily autonomy. The COVID crisis has created a new sense of urgency for programming that speaks to girls , especially to Black girls.
“Just this year alone, girls have had to navigate a world impacted by a global pandemic,” says La’Keisha Gray-Sewell, GLMPI executive director. “Black girls in Chicago are living under additional duress of police brutality, segregation and poverty, educational inequities, mysterious kidnappings and violent murders. The acute trauma greatly shapes their development and sense of self-worth.”
Since 2012, GLMPI has introduced 500 girls to International Day of the Girl, through its flagship Chicago Day of the Girl program. Due to COVID, this year’s Chicago Day of the Girl is a free virtual celebration to raise money in support of GLMPI’s critical programs. This year’s theme is Black Girl Voices. Black Girl Moves. Throughout the day GLMPI will showcase amazing young Black girl creatives in fitness, dance, film, and spoken word.
“Black girls in Chicago possess a magic that manifests into creative works of art,” says Gray-Sewell. “It flows in their native tongue full of midwestern soul. From dancing to fashion, academic achievement to civic engagement and activism; they are hope in a callous world. Our virtual event will center their lived experiences in
