Sankofa's Learning Center

The Sankofa's Learning Center is operated primarily through the sponsorship of Sankofa Healing and Enrichment, Inc. with the assistance of several volunteers from the SASSUA.  Come and join us as we work together to rebuild our community and relive our former glory of Physical, Emotional and Spiritual Health, Peace and Prosperity.  In order to assist the community along the path to health the center provides the following services:

                      Health Education Workshops

Sankofa was founded with the main purpose of educating the community about natural ways to attain and maintain holistic health.  These workshops give participants a preliminary introduction to various aspects of health and wellness.  Community groups can request that a workshop be presented to groups of five or more.  There is no charge for most of these workshops.  Donations are deeply appreciated.  Feel free to contact the center to have a presentation conducted for your group.

Results Program

 This is a 4-step, 12-week program designed to focus on strengths, manage weaknesses and eliminate the causes of the symptoms of ADD, ADHD and other learning and behavioral "disorders".  Children with ADD are “Quick-Smart Kids” with a learning style, not a learning disability or behavioral problem. The Results Project focuses on developing children’s favorable traits that enable them to enter the real world with their self-esteem intact.

Sankofa means "Go Back and Fetch It".  At Sankofa Lerning Center we focus on reclaiming the spirit of community, health and prosperity which are our inheritance from our Ancestors of the distant past.  By fetching the wisdom of the past and living it in the present, we can create a more prosperous future.

 Health Food Preparation Demonstrations

The center periodically sponsors health displays and food preparation demonstrations that show people how to prepare healthier foods that are tasty & nutritious.  Nutrition education is a crucial component of most of the center’s programs.  Meals are prepared without the use of refined foods, sugar, white flour, salt, milk, etc.  People are shown how to incorporate foods such as flax oil, tofu, tempeh, soy milk and other items that have been scientifically shown to reduce the likelihood of falling victim to various forms of disease that are prevalent in today’s society.

Resource Center

 The resource center is open to the community.  There are hundreds of books, audio and video tapes on various topics pertaining to health, nutrition, and education.  Most items may be checked out for up to a month at a time by all current members of SASSUA and students of Sankofa Healing and Enrichment Programs.
