Welcome!

I am Dena Florczyk, a Teaneck Hight School teacher and photographer, as well as the founder and director of The Nigerian School Project, a non-profit educational organization that supports teachers and students in Nigeria, West Africa.

Established in 2004, the NSP has delivered educational supplies, purchased textbooks, built desks, provided school uniforms, established university scholarships and built two school libraries.

The NSP has also established an international partnership with Nigerian schools, giving visiting American teachers the opportunity to teach and Nigerian and American students the opportunity to look into each other's worlds.

What these students and teachers lack in resources is certainly not reflected in their desier to learn or their desire to compete in an ever-changing world.

Four years ago I never would have believed that such a small effort could make such a difference. Today, I believe more than ever the power each of us has to make a difference in the world.

Peace, Dena
