BUILDING THE BRIDGE WITH BOOKS.

I may not be a good reader of the bible

i may not be an ardent bencher at the church on sundays

but i feel it in my bones when i see the commoner's child unable to read and the children of the sunday ardent read fluently

there fore, i m.....BUILDING BRIDGES WITH BOOKS

Improving literacy in rural communities

the rural must read.

Upcoming event : Books donation at Egburie Primary School, Ozoro

Onuesoke Foundation Mobile Library - Raise Awareness

Onuesoke Foundation At Awirhe Community

Onuesoke Foundation Humanitarianly saves lives of children by bridging the gap between the rural and urban child. Rural children are equally blessed as the urban child, but the leading factor affecting the rural child is nature and nurture. Brilliantness and intelligence are equally distributed to all children during conception as a trait that is innate. This is why our aims and objective is to see rural children have access to informed environment by providing the rural children textbooks, exercise-books, writing materials, teaching aids for teachers through Onuesoke Foundation Mobile Library. At Awirhe Primary School Inter-House Athletic Sport Competition, Onuesoke Foundation in partnership with books2Africa was able to donate over 500 books to pupils who came first and second in the inter-house athletic competition.

MY PASSION IS TO BRIDGE THE GAP , THE GAP BETWEEN THE RURAL CHILD AND THE URBAN CHILD , MAKING THE CLASSROOM OF THE RURAL CHILD AS EDUCATING AS THAT OF THE URBAN CHILD WHO ARE IN THE SAME SOCIETY ....ONUESOKE.

If education is the key to national development ,

Educational Attainment of children of equivalent social background should not vary  according to the regional locality of the child.. A gap we need to close and ensure equal opportunity and same content in curriculum delivery. Onuesoke.

 

Enthusiastically, Onuesoke Foundation will be berthing at the shore of Awirhe Town, in Agbarha Otor for a massive donation of Primary School textbooks at the Inter-house athletic sport competition tomorrow. Be there!!!!!!!!!!!!

Trees Reduce Air Pollution, Obesity, Respiratory Problems

Trees are nature's answer to diminishing air pollution, as well as reducing respiratory problems for the human population, according to US Forest Service scientists and collaborators behind a new study.

Their broad-scale estimates concluded that trees are saving more than 850 human lives a year and preventing 670,000 incidents of acute respiratory symptoms - and that's just by improving air quality less than one percent.

Not to mention that trees can help save $7 billion a year in health costs by reducing respiratory illness.

The study, published in the journal Environmental Pollution, was led by Dave Nowak and Eric Greenfield of the US Forest Service's Northern Research Station (NRS) and Satoshi Hirabayashi and Allison Bodine of the Davey Institute. It is the first to directly link air pollution to improved healthy effects.

Researchers came to these staggering conclusions by investigating four pollutants in particular: nitrogen dioxide, ozone, sulfur dioxide, and particulate matter less than 2.5 microns (PM2.5) in aerodynamic diameter. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) currently has air quality standards established for these four pollutants.

 The NRS team found that pollution removal is substantially higher in rural areas compared to urban areas, however the effects on human health are considerably greater in urban areas than rural areas.

"With more than 80 percent of Americans living in urban areas, this research underscores how truly essential urban forests are to people across the nation," Michael T. Rains, Director of the Forest Service's Northern Research Station, said in a news release.

Health effects related to air pollution include impacts on pulmonary, cardiac, vascular, and neurological systems. In the United States, approximately 130,000 PM2.5-related deaths and 4,700 ozone-related deaths in 2005 were because of air pollution.

It may seem simple that trees are the answer to reducing air pollution and all its associated health effects, but tree cover is not created equal in the United States. For example, trees cover 2.6 percent of North Dakota compared to 88.9 percent in New Hampshire.

"In terms of impacts on human health, trees in urban areas are substantially more important than rural trees due to their proximity to people," Nowak said. "We found that in general, the greater the tree cover, the greater the pollution removal, and the greater the removal and population density, the greater the value of human health benefits."
