AEO FOUNDER TESTIMONY
Today there is no free public education in Nigeria and in most African countries. From kindergarten to college, families must pay to educate their children. Although there are private schools, most are not affordable, and many are substandard. The same was true when I was a child in Nigeria decades ago. My parents could not afford to pay tuition for all their ten children. They sent some of my older siblings to school, and encouraged me, a middle child, to learn a trade. I wanted an education, however, and started hawking on the streets and assisting at construction sites in order to earn money to pay tuition. Then God sent a parish priest to help me achieve the goal of attending school.
