About: Lack of access to or readiness of, adequate school supplies and materials prohibits many children from learning and teachers to teach. Acquisition of knowledge is the first step on the path to global sustainability, prosperity, and world peace; innovation and progress stem from knowledge, a universal right. Echoes of a Kora will allow students to further their studies, and teachers to provide the best teaching environment specifically to villages and also to orphanages.
Echoes of a Kora officially started in May 2011 with an idea that generated from a trip to Nigeria in 2008. After spending some months in Ugep (2nd largest village in Cross River State, neighboring city Calabar), it was apparent that the basic tools in the classroom and outside of It wasn’t available. Through further inquiries, the need for academic resources for children and teachers was prevalent and something needed to be done. It has now become a long term commitment and duty to provide the basic essentials to students and teachers in order for them to attain great academic tools in addition to resources that are limited.
