For years Nami has been funding the education of poor children in the villages of Adjarra and Kisame through Rethink Africa. She’s done it with no sense of possessiveness, entitlement, or strings attached. She’s bought hundreds of backpacks, tons of notebooks, pencils, pens, etc. for the impoverished pupils in the two communities.  She’s paid tuition fees for many college and university students.  Though she’s seen photos and videos of her beneficiaries, she had never actually met them.  But when she finally visited, it was euphoric. The people broke into song. They were excited to meet their hero, the woman who had been supporting their education for years. They were dancing, screaming, jumping. Little did Nami herself know how touched the people were – and how much they longed to meet her.

Let the photos and videos below tell the rest of the story .  .
