The idea to set up an NGO,
African Dream Foundation (ADF 90),
for the qualitative education and positive development of
the African youth, was conceived by this
committed human rights/pro-democracy activist
in 1986. Worried by the persistent cases of failure by Nigerian students in the
Senior School Certificate - SSCE (O' Level) English and Mathematics examinations,
Bona Vee started FREE LECTURE CLASSES
for students in these core subjects. The result? Practically all the students
taught by Bona Vee scored high marks in both subjects in the 1986/1987 SSCE.
Most of these students went on to Universities and Polytechnics and many
have since become University lecturers, bankers, and administrators.
We regret to
announce the 'CALL TO GLORY' of one of our
organization's founders and directors, Mrs. Josephine Y.
Adebeshin - a.k.a. JYA (1916 - 2008), the matriarch of the family.
She was a trained nurse who spent practically her entire working life as a nurse
and later, as a Hostel Superintendent of nurses, at the famous Sacred Heart
Catholic Hospital, Lantoro, Abeokuta, Ogun State, Nigeria. A committed
philanthropist, JYA dedicated her life to helping people in need, and in her
later years, needy children, through African Dream Foundation (ADF 90), an NGO
set up by the family for the qualitative education and positive development of
the African child. JYA passed on to the Great Beyond on Monday evening, December
15, 2008 (10 days before what promised to be a smashing Christmas celebration!).
She was aged... just 92 years! JYA was more than a mother to us... she was
indeed our best friend! May her soul rest in perfect peace, Amen.
