My Nonprofit Reviews

I met the founder, Iffat Walker about a year or so ago, she actually helped me with my resume at a job fair that she was having in the Conyers area through her organization C.A.N. She then invited me out to sit in on one of her business classes for entreprenuers. At the time she was teaching a business class to a group of students that were starting businesses. I have never seen someone reach and empower an audience the way I've seen her. I have never seen anyone teach a person that is going through hell the way she taught her class. Her students were all on public assistance and trying to get ahead. Her students were really in aww of her presence and her demeanor and her wealth of knowledge. She was patient and very kind in a way that you just don't see when it comes to teaching adults. I just think she is amazing. I have since followed her work through Community Action NOW and to be honest with you, this organization is a jewel that will FAR outlast many organizations. The volunteers in this organization are committed and truly believe that they can eliminate poverty..and they are doing it, one community at a time. All I can say is, they have an AMAZING leader in Iffaat, and more people need to take notice to what she is doing in impoverished communities and join her team. I can see this organization growing to be one of the top in the world.
