ADINKRA SANKOFA SYMBOL<\/span><\/h4>\n

The \u201cSankofa\u201d is a metaphorical symbol used by the Akan people of Ghana, generally depicted as a bird with its head turned backward taking an egg from its back or a stylised heart shape.
\nIt expresses the importance of reaching back to knowledge gained in the past and bringing it into the present in order to make positive progress.
\n It is often associated with the proverb, \u201cSe wo were fi na wosankofa a yenkyi,\u201d<\/em> which translates \u201cIt is not wrong to go back for that which you have forgotten.\u201d <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Ancestors sketched the following statement in my memory one night.  I wrote it on a pad.  The next morning while preparing for a meeting, I recognized the Sankofa symbol in the PowerPoint presentation.  I  retrieved the pad and added the statement to the Presentation.  The Ancestors were grateful of me listening and honoring them.  The Ancestors are always there ready to help. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
