Onima Institute
Projects
Onima Institute believes that
bringing some African members of the ruling class in the
various levels of human endeavors to the US, to acquire some
knowledge and skills including exposing them to see what the
human mind is capable of doing, will enhance their ability
to do the right things upon their return to Africa.
Therefore, in the Leadership and Human Development agenda,
we have designed programs for the three arms of government
including the media, law enforcement, Africans women,
educators, business leaders, and financial analysts, etc.,
for those in these professions/avocations to come to our one
week intensive training in the US and return to Africa to
apply the knowledge gained from our programs.
In an attempt to meet local
need for African language experts, Onima Institute is running languages classes on 11 indigenous African
languages. There is a prepared Proposal to write
up the text books on the eleven languages to enhance the
teaching and research here in the US and Africa where some
of the languages are dying.
In order to bridge the gap
in human understanding between the people of Africa and the
United States, to allow for mutual respect, appreciation,
and peace, Onima Institute conducts a two-week tour of
Africa every year. These tours are designed to expose
Americans to the various traditional grounds, African
religion, and shrines in order that they may understand the
true meaning of African heritage. Many attractions and, the
price is very moderate.
To allow some American
students have international exposure and experience Africa,
to appreciate the opportunities they have in the United
States, Onima Institute designed a 16 week Study Abroad
Program for university students. 15 weeks of the 16 are for
a 15 unit of credits towards graduation upon their return to
the US, and one week is for touring to see the wonderful
nature of Africa and what its heritage is all about.
Periodically, Onima
Institute conducts workshops for the elderly as a way to
assist their alertness and health in the community whenever
we are able to receive funds or obtain sponsorship.
Assisting needy and
indigent high school students locally, and in Africa where
we have some on scholarships.
