My Interests

I'd like to meet:

About Co-founders Peter Abue and Derek Cabrera: Fr. Peter Abue is a grassroots leader and priest from Nigeria who is actively engaged in community-oriented projects and pastoral work, and fronts the CORAfrica Nigerian office. After meeting Derek Cabrera of Ithaca, NY in their doctoral studies at Cornell University, they decided to form CORAfrica to develop relations between Nigerian schools and opportunities for partnership in the US. In June 2006, CORAfrica was officially recognized as a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and publicly supported charity.
