“As the saying goes, there is always ability in disability,
when it comes to the world of creativity”
Taakra is a humanitarian organization that finds pleasure in
working with those that love and have passion for handwork and creativity
irrespective of any disability one encountered, that is why the C.E.O of Taakra
Academy took up the service of a young man in his 30’s with hearing impairment,
but uses his hands skillfully in making of different Ankara/skin designers shoe
and bag for both sex to earn a living.
Ekene a strong-willed man despite his hearing impairment did
not let his situation send him to the streets. This is actually a challenge to
most of our Youths today that take into crime because there is no white collar
jobs, but there is a lot that can be achieved by using your hands to produce
different krafts that are relevant to our market today………….. For our youths
Idleness or Crime is never the answer, but hard work and dedication is all you
need!
He is really a great source of encouragement to all those
out there who feel, I cannot work because I cannot walk, I am blind and so on
and indeed Taakra has stood out to encourage such people.
Ekene is currently working with Taakra Academy as one of our
resource persons, It has been fun working with him, seeing the fact that he is
so passionate about what he does.
