Seeds of Africa is a 501(c)(3) organization whose mission is to educate and nurture children and their families by providing quality education and community development programs. Established in 2008 as an after-school program, and have since grown into a full-time school that serves pre-k to 4th grade students, and a community development program that serves their mothers and other female guardians. I have spent several days at the Adama campus to document several activities of the school and the heartwarming students.
The kids will be your best friends in two minutes and all they provide you is the priceless smiles from a heart. All they know is love and I feel very joyful when I am around. They so love photograph as well and they are not tired of posing for it in their best energy and natural being. I am so grateful for the Seeds of Africa team for providing nothing but the best in investing in the future of the Africa who they have so much potential and promising future to earn it. The satisfaction and peace of spending a day with them with be tattooed in your heart for a lifetime.
