WELCOME
In October of 1986, a group of individuals met in the residence of Dr. Ben Akanegbu in Maryland, USA to explore the possibility of developing friendship with each other and to be able to look out and support each other in times of need. This group of immigrants came to the United States of America from different cities in Nigeria to pursue their academic ambitions in the United States Universities, and finally settling in the Washington DC/Baltimore metropolitan area.
Their main objective of coming together was the desire to forge ahead and make a difference in the lives of a the needy and underprivileged within our local communities here and in Nigeria. These individuals were not necessarily friends at first, but knew each other and believed in collective action, shared values and common purpose.
