Sankofa Saturday! August 28 (Sunday too!)

August 28, 2010

We are celebrating at KiaraBlu! Today is the beginning of a new season at KiaraBlu! We are excited to have our first Sankofa Saturday! This is a program we have developed to support non-profit organizations within the African Diaspora that are supporting the community in a positive way! The Sankofa Adinkra symbol represents returning to obtain what we left behind. Sankofa Saturdays will give us all an opportunity to UNITE in support of our own community……a concept that needs to be revived! We will donate proceeds from certain products to the organizations identified for that weekend!

Today is our first Sankofa Saturday Sale! We have connected with Central Apostolic Faith Mission (CAFM) to support their Youth Conference! The Youth Dept at this church supports and educates youth in the Charlotte Metro Area. The ministry is dedicated to providing youth with a positive, supportive and encouraging Christian environment where they can grow and develop into productive adults, that will positively influence the community. Some of the youth activities at CAFM include princesses of Love, monthly Male Symposium, annual cultural education trips and liturgical dance. The Youth Conference being held this weekend is offering the kids information they can use as they return to school to stay focused on their faith and education. The goal continues to be to offer them practical faith-based information that they can apply in their day-to-day activities!

Help us to support the community! The Sankofa tee shirts and Wawa Aba knit cap will be the products featured for this Sankofa Saturday!
