We are still reflecting on an unforgettable journey. 🇬🇭❤️

To our incredible students who received the Sankofa Bridge International Travel Scholarship, thank you for embracing this once-in-a-lifetime voyage to Ghana, West Africa, with open hearts and curious minds. Your willingness to step outside your comfort zone, immerse yourselves in another culture, and connect with history is something you’ll carry with you forever.

To our amazing parents, thank you for trusting Sankofa Bridge with your children. We recognize the faith it takes to allow your child to travel across the world, and we are deeply grateful for your confidence in our mission.

Together, we explored places that brought history, culture, and identity to life. From walking through the powerful dungeons of Cape Coast Castle and standing before the Door of No Return, to paying our respects at the home and resting place of W.E.B. Du Bois, riding ATVs through breathtaking landscapes, relaxing at the beautiful Bojo Beach, experiencing Ghanaian traditions, tasting local cuisine, connecting with the people, and seeing daily life on the African continent firsthand, this journey was about so much more than travel. It was about education, heritage, perspective, and transformation.

These memories, lessons, and connections will last a lifetime, and we are honored to have shared this experience together.

Watch their testimonials and hear, in their own words, how this journey impacted their lives.

Episode 7: Day 8 | Adventure & Arts
Our Sankofa Youth Scholars had an unforgettable day in Ghana. We started at the Shai Hills Resource Reserve for an ATV tour where the scholars rode ATVs for the first time. We rode alongside ostriches and other wildlife and even had the chance to visit and pet a royal python.
After the reserve, we enjoyed lunch at the Volta Hotel in Akosombo with a stunning view of the Akosombo Dam and the Volta River, Africa’s largest man-made lake.
Later in the evening, we headed to Black Star Square in Accra for the Chale Wote Street Art Festival. The scholars experienced live music, vendors, horseback riding, art exhibits and so much more.
When we returned home, the youth were thrilled to see their African inspired outfits ready to try on. We will show them to you soon!
