The Birth of the GAHFU Academy

This is the birth of the GAHFU Academy at the Blazer learning Center 1517 West 48th Street Los Angeles, CA 90062 (323) 898-6841. The school as it was first known, was a concept started by GAHFU, Inc. and a project developed in association with Mr. Clifford Palacio, Mr. Ruben Reyes, Mr. Carlos Domingo Alvarez, Mr. Sidney Mejia with the help of The Blazer Learning Center run by Mr. Bennie Davenport. The school was born in 2005 and it was first held at Maabatuwa Cultural Center of Los Angeles. Mr. Palacio and Mr. Alvarez had previously taught at another location years before. After Maabatuwa, GAHFU saw the need to establish a more permanent school where families could attend and learn. The purpose of this project is to preserve the Garifuna language spoken and written which is the lifeline of the Garinagu as we know it. Those who are fluent in Garifuna can also improve their vocabulary and learn how to write it following the standarized rules accorded in the last convention by the Garifuna Nation scholars. GAHFU"s academy started as a school in April 2008 at The Blazer Learning Center. Classes are offered every Saturday from 10 am to 2 pm. For more information call 323-898-6841. The online classes is also supported by our website and www.garitv.com
