Style African Family Academic Reparation Initiative

Safari Initiative 2015 embrace more than just a Safari tour or a “Sister City” arrangement, but this is a concept whereas an African Country embraces a city and while both a city embraces a Country and each enjoy Cultural, Artistic, educational and family embrace. Specifically African/Americans whose ancestors were torn away from the Continent of Africa over 400 years ago will adopt a fun and enlighten agenda that embrace programs that repair negative concepts while a formal ceremony is adopted for many who will travel to an African Country and is formally embraced as family and honorary Citizens as the selected country.

The Selected Country and City of embrace is the City of Memphis, Tennessee and the East African Country of Kenya the birthplace of the father of President Barack Obama. Kenya is chosen because it is the most poplar tourist destination in the Continent of Africa and with the election of Barack Obama the most poplar and desired location for most Americans desiring to visit the Continent of Africa. Kenya is an English speaking country with an infrastructure that can best support this mission.
