A Classroom Transformation Journey

Donation protected
As I pen down these words, a rush of emotions engulfs me. I’m Evans Eboigbodin, a living testament to the power of education from Oba Akenzua II Primary School in Benin City, Edo State, Nigeria. 

Those walls, those benches, the laughter ringing in the corridors – they’re not just memories; they’re a part of my identity. As the current president of the Oba Akenzua Class of ‘92 Alumni Association, it’s painful to see my once-vibrant alma mater, the place that ignited my dreams, in a state of disrepair.


Imagine a child, with eyes full of hopes and dreams, entering a classroom only to find it crumbling, unwelcoming. The government does provide funds, but it’s often a mere drop in the vast ocean of needs. The consequences? Bright, eager minds trying to flourish in an environment that barely supports their basic needs. Can we let this continue? Can I?

This is why I’ve taken up the mantle of the “A CLASSROOM AT A TIME PROJECT.” I wish for those young souls to feel the same pride and security I once did. We’re not just aiming to paint walls or fix furniture; we’re striving to resurrect the spirit of learning, the joy of discovery, the essence of childhood. With an estimated cost of $800-$1000 to rejuvenate each room, and 28 rooms stretched across its grounds. My aim is to transform these spaces into havens where dreams are nurtured, creativity is celebrated, and potential is realized.

Every donation, every penny you offer, won’t just rebuild a classroom; it’s a brick in the foundation of a child’s future. It’s the promise of warmth in winter, the cool shade in summer, a safe haven in a storm.

Whether our paths crossed through school, friendship, or fate, I ask you, from the depth of my heart, to join me in this mission. Your generosity, your belief, can turn the tide, one classroom at a time. Together, we aren’t just rebuilding rooms; we’re reigniting dreams.

With heartfelt gratitude and hope,

Evans Eboigbodin
