The Balanta B’urassa History and Genealogy Society in America (BBHAGSIA) launched the Decade of Return Initiative in Guinea Bissau in January of 2020. Since then it has been involved in fundraising and delivering various micro-technical projects in education, sports, food security and agriculture. Currently, our focus has been developing “Right to Return” policy for the Decade of Return Initiative. This includes diplomatic efforts in Guinea Bissau, Cameroon, Zimbabwe and Geneva, Switzerland. 

Our current priorities are:

1) raising $3,000 by March 18, to send BBHAGSI President Siphiwe Baleka to Geneva Switzerland for the 3rd session of the UN Permanent Forum on People of African Descent;

2) raising money for the Dafana Institute and its Quebo School project.

The DAFANA INSTITUTE - THE GATEWAY TO AMERICAN ENGLISH IN GUINEA-BISSAU. OUR NEW SITE OPENED IN THE POPULAR BANDIM MARKET NEIGHBORHOOD IN THE CAPITAL CITY OF BISSAU.
