Elom believes in the transformative change FOA promotes "Seeing these kids transform from being ill-mannered, confrontational, and morose amongst others into young African individuals eager and striving to fulfill their potentials is what motivates and fuels my passion and commitment in my work with FOA." He is family-oriented and has embraced FOA as another treasured family.
Every moment a child is off the streets and in the classroom is another moment for the Future of Africa.
