快猫视频

Adetunji (Tunji) Adesesan, who was born in Nigeria, heard about 快猫视频 10 years ago from a long-time 快猫视频 supporter when he lived in the Twin Cities and worked at the University of Minnesota. When he moved to the Atlanta area in 2005, he helped start a local nonprofit called Nigeria Connects. It ships books to schools in Nigeria. He re-established his connection to 快猫视频 in Atlanta in 2014 and a great partnership was formed. Tunji, as everyone calls him, is now the Director of Nigeria Connects and an Assistant Professor at Reinhardt University, a private university outside Atlanta where he teaches study skills/success strategies. He is also Director of Academic Support.

He is a regular volunteer at the 快猫视频 Atlanta warehouse where Nigeria Connects, working with 快猫视频, has helped shipped about 16,500 books to his native Nigeria and Liberia with plans for students in other countries as well.

One of the major projects is to build libraries in prisons, a project called Help Our Prison Education or HOPE. So far 16 libraries have been established in correctional centers in Nigeria and one in Liberia.

鈥淲e decided that in prisons the best form of rehabilitation is education,鈥� Tunji said.聽 鈥淵ou have to renew their minds, to educate them and help them educate themselves. A lot of them are now getting degrees, working, doing something better with their lives even behind bars.聽 They learn that they don鈥檛 have to be a criminal. These are made possible through donated books from 快猫视频.聽 Even the correctional officers take home books for their children.鈥�

Tunji has visited recipients of the books in Nigeria.

He described 鈥渉ow elated and happy they are when they see those books. They don鈥檛 have them. They want to read books. I can鈥檛 explain it. Seeing is believing.鈥�

Tunji said that the books to prisoners have had 鈥渁 significant impact. We鈥檝e seen lives change. Getting a GED or going to college through these books. So many inmates have graduated using the books. 鈥�

And, he added, the聽libraries are really helping, 鈥渁 game changer. A lot of the programs didn鈥檛 have books. A significant impact. Unbelievable.鈥�

With school starting back up, Tunji will only be able to volunteer at 快猫视频 on weekends. He plans to bring students and his four children, ages 14-19.

鈥溈烀ㄊ悠� is like a second home,鈥� he said.
