Repatriation Course 101
The topic of Repatriation has been relegated to lyrics in songs but rarely is it been broken down in terms of the practical movement of dispersed African families, men and women, from the Diaspora forward into Africa. Repatriation Course 101 is designed to do just that, demystify repatriation and make it a practical endeavor for all Africans born in the Diaspora with the desire to return to Africa. I provide answers to all questions related to repatriation assisting students to make informed decisions. Furthermore, this one class promises to provide all the necessary keys for your initial entry, but if by chance we do not cover a topic that concerns you, I remain available to my students long after the course is complete.
Classes will be given on-line and will begin on Sunday, February 7, 2010, continuing for 5 strongs and culminating on Sunday, March 7, 2010 Classes will begin at promptly 2 PM, eastern standard time and last for an hour, thirty minutes. The total cost is $95, payable on or before February 1, 2010.
