Hearing impairment resource person

“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.

OUR MISSION TO NYSC CAMP

Taakra Academy school of Arts and Kraft was at the National Youth Service Camp Kubwa Abuja, during the Batch B 2013 Orientation Training.

Taakra Academy amongst others was one of the Resource Persons to help inculcate in the youth/corp member s skills they can transform into wealth. The program/workshop lasted for 7days where interested corp members were taught how to make Ankara shoe and Bag, Taakra creative crafts, event decoration and planning.

The program strategy focuses on the act of creativity and the ability to use your hands and earn a living/self-employed.

Our society presently need youths that can stand for themselves anywhere in the world regardless of white collar jobs that most times do not come easy after the passing out of these corp members. Handwork is taking a better shape in our economy today, because with ones experience in the University, packaging ones handwork for the market will be a plus, for instance, a corp member who now package Ijebu Garri for sale. 

Taakra Academy is Glad to be among the resource group at the NYSC camp in Abuja  and we hope to continue this work of impartation that we have started in Abuja.
