Welcome back to empower series with Mary. This will be my first post in a few months because It has been a very hectic few months, first I joined the 50 fifty club and dedicated my bday to launch my nonprofit organization called Pa Pius Agweye Foundation a.k.a PPAF.

PPAF is a non- profit Organization founded on the principles that , Education is a commitment to Excellence and Learning, making education affordable to all by creating platforms through which every child accesses good and quality education in a conducive and 21st century compliant environment.

My father Pa Pius Or Teacher as most people fondly called him lived a very humbled, sacrificial ,impactful life through teaching and serving his community.

So there's no better way to continue his legacy which he selflessly founded several schools (some named after him) and devoted his lifetime than this - to continue to carry the education touch forward indirectly through providing needed aid and supplies.

So to enable us reach our goal, Please visit www.papiusagweyefoundation.org to support us with your donation. "It truly takes a village"

So I want us to have an authentic conversation and share insights on how we've continue to rise above the challenges to meet the demands of these challenging times, to collaborate and celebrate each other.
