We are thrilled to have been part of the 35th anniversary celebration of Books For Africa and the launch of their incredible initiative, A Book For Every Child, that held in Minnesota, United States
The Sir Emeka Offor Foundation was represented at this epoch making event by a high powered delegation which included; a Senior Director SEOF, His Excellency Ambassador Howard Jeter; the Chief of Staff SEOF, AIG Chris Okey Ezike rtd & Wife Lady Clara Ezike; a US based Legal Advisor to SEOF, Attorney Patrick Chukelu; a US based Executive SEOF, Chief Sylvan Odobulu among others.
We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to Patrick Plonski, PhD, the Executive Director of Books For Africa, for the honor and privilege of being part of this milestone event that availed us the opportunity to share ideas on how to move books to Africa and empower the African child with knowledge geared towards building their human capacities.
We also thank the organisers for honouring SEOF with an executional recognition for the role we have played over the years in books distribution in Africa.
At the event, we seized the opportunity to make another commitment to procure five 40ft containers of Books worth millions of Naira to be delivered to Nigeria for distribution to higher institutions in the country. This is in addition to the five 40ft containers of books we have at the ports that are currently being cleared.
We, once again, pledge our unwavering commitment to continue partnering with Books For Africa in their mission to provide access to quality education through the donation of books.
With Books For Africa being the largest shipper of donated books to the African continent, their impact is immeasurable. Together, we can make a lasting difference in the lives of countless children and help unlock their potential through the power of books. <img height="16" width="16" alt="
