For the past eight years, I’ve had the privilege of sponsoring education for underserved children in Nigeria, Kenya, and the Philippines. During this time, I’ve witnessed firsthand how access to education can transform not only individual lives but entire communities. The experience has been both humbling and eye-opening, reinforcing the belief that education is one of the most powerful weapons we have to combat poverty and elevate the standard of living in developing countries.

September marked the end of summer break and return to school. We are excited to welcome back 53 children and five teachers to Veritas Academy, Ikorodu Nigeria!

Nigerian Cooking Class This July the Okenyes taught a Nigerian cooking class as a fundraiser. We auctioned the class as a donation item at Geneva Academy, a Christian School in Roseburg, Oregon.
