The website will become free and searchable. NHEG will no longer take on new students for live lessons or tutoring. We will no longer answer phone calls for informational services, and families will need to use the search tool on our websites to find the answers they need. Most, if not all, of them will be on the site, and we will add any information that people might need. The website will stay intact and up to date as long as there is a volunteer to manage it and money to fund the hosting costs. Your donations are appreciated to help us keep it available.

We hope the website will remain a valuable resource and blessing for those who need it and will honor the many hundreds of volunteers who have helped build the organization. We want to make sure that the information and work of the last 16 years don’t go to waste. Your donations are appreciated to help us keep it available. We ask that, if possible, you donate at least $25 or more to help offset these costs. We will be required to pay $705 per year for these basic expenses. If we can’t raise these funds the site might go inactive by 2024.

• NHEG will no longer take on new students for live lessons or tutoring.
• All tutoring has come to an end, due to low funds and teacher/tutor shortages.
• NHEG’s pre-recorded courses will all be available for free, but families will need to contact us by enrolling or emailing us for access to specific classes.
• The website will become free and searchable, and it will stay intact and up to date as long as there is a volunteer to manage it and funds to cover the hosting fees.
• Our phone number will stay the same, but there may be longer response times. We ask that you search the site first before calling for information.
• We will no longer answer phone calls for informational services, and families will need to use the search tool on our websites to find the answers they need. Most, if not all, of them will be on the site, and we will add any information that people might need.
• The comic book issue currently being worked on, once published, will be our last (unless funding is acquired). All scripts that weren’t made into a comic book will be shared on our comic book page.
• The radio shows may or may not continue depending on circumstances out of our control.
• The Reading Program will stay active and pre-recorded as long as a volunteer is available to run the program.
• Any offerings from program partners will be shared with those who are signed up for our email list.

• We need help with HR, as well as a cartoonist, professional fundraisers, publicists, grant writers, social media/marketing, graphic design, data compilation and organization/moving information to new systems, proofreading, and managing the radio show.

• https://NewHeightsEducation.org/volunteer-with-NHEG/NHEG-volunteer-opportunities/
• NHEG EDGuide will continue as long as Marina Klimi and Pamela Clark can devote time to it.
• We will no longer have a Research Department or review new products or programs.

We are hoping that volunteers will stay on to organize and share NHEG information with families in need. NHEG’s pre-recorded courses will all be available for free, but families will need to contact us for access to specific classes. We ask that you don’t share these classes; each person using them must request them by contacting he NewHeightsEducation@yahoo.com email address or by enrolling to receive a specific course. The reason for this is because we have paid for some curriculum from other companies for these classes, and we don’t want to disrespect those companies in any way by openly offering their information for free.

If you want to advocate for our organization and its dream of a fair and equal education for all who are willing to work for it, then I ask that you contact the following and tell them you want and expect their support for our services.

Here is a script that you can use by phone or email, or to submit via online contact form:

Hello, I’m contacting you as a [student, parent, volunteer, teacher/tutor] and I want to share my concern about the New Heights Educational Group. The organization is falling dormant because it isn’t receiving the support it needs to stay active. It would be a great loss to not only Defiance and the State of Ohio but also to the world to lose this organization and its services. It needs funding and media support, and we want you to make it happen. (Share what the organization has meant to you.)

• Ohio Governor Mike DeWine: (614) 644-4357, https://governor.ohio.gov/contact
• Representative Craig Reidel’s office: (614) 644-5091, https://ohiohouse.gov/members/craig-s-riedel/contact
• Representative Bob Latta’s office: (419) 782-1996, https://latta.house.gov/contact/
• Defiance Mayor Mike McCann: (419) 784-2101, https://cityofdefiance.com/contact/
• Defiance Area Foundation: (419) 782-3130, https://defianceareafoundation.org/contact-us/

Local Defiance leaders don’t believe that our services are needed and think they duplicate what the public schools offer, although we do and want to offer an educational and affordable service center serving all families regardless of school choice, a sensory room, a daycare for young parents, and our radio show. We would appreciate you sharing our information with anyone who can fund this dream. We can’t continue to operate on a small to non-existent budget. Thank you for the blessing of allowing us to serve you for the last 16 years and helping us become the most awarded nonprofit on the planet.

More than 3,700 nominations from organizations of all sizes and in virtually every industry were submitted this year for consideration in a wide range of categories, including Startup of the Year, Executive of the Year, Best New Product or Service of the Year, Marketing Campaign of the Year, Thought Leader of the Year, and App of the Year, among others. NHEG was nominated in the Education Hero of the Year category.

Judges Comments:

• The pandemic has accelerated and worsened equity gaps in education and has deepened the divide in our communities. The work that NHEG is doing is truly wonderful. To think that everyone at NHEG is an all-volunteer staff is truly remarkable. Please keep up that great work and know that your work is making a difference.
• This is amazing work. A lot of students are ignored and left behind if they are unable to catch up in traditional schools due to a lot of reasons. Everyone needs a fair chance to learn and your effort is doing the same. Keep the good work going!

NHEG Executive Director Pamela Clark, stated, “We are honored by this recognition, and NHEG has been a rare gem since it was created June 1, 2006. It’s amazing to work with positive volunteers from around the world who are invested in change. They share our vision that everyone deserves a fair and equal education if they are willing to work for it. Our volunteers work so hard to make the world a better place. They are all heroes and fit its definition well: ‘a person who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities.’ I’m truly blessed by our 77 volunteers, my family’s support and all the volunteers who have helped us build this extraordinary organization.”

More than 230 professionals worldwide participated in the judging process to select this year’s Stevie Award winners.

“We are so pleased that we will be able to stage our first ABA awards banquet since 2019 and to celebrate, in person, the achievements of such a diverse group of organizations and individuals,” said Maggie Miller, president of the Stevie Awards.

The new tier reading program coordinator will be Rachel Omodolapo Oladejo. Rachel is a voice actress and singer at Wabbit’s Voices, a storyteller who performs voiceovers, and a writer whose words dance on paper.  A self-taught naturopathic chef, she runs a hospitality business, Raymensions, and is a DIY holistic remedies guru who loves nature. You’ll catch her gardening or on food adventures hunting for new recipes you can eat and put on your skin.  Rachel was born in Kaduna, Northern Nigeria, to late Navy Captain Professor Michael Olatunji and Bolaji Oladejo as the first of three children and only daughter. Her early schooling was at Hakda International School, Kaduna. Rachel learned much of her values, languages, culture and education from her father, and the art of running a business from her mother. Her father was an educationalist who was well-spoken and her first teacher.

Her father’s philosophy was “1,000% or nothing.” He passed on October 6, 2021, and Rachel used the pain of her grief to craft creative content for kids and music to cope and heal. The hit single tribute song to her late father, “Angels came for the Mathematician,” was birthed during this time of grief.  Her love for reading, teaching and entertaining fueled her to delve into media and communication strategy, which led her to do voiceover work that then spanned to video games, children’s stories, audiobooks, commercials, animations and motivational nuggets coined “ray-motivate carrots,” giving her audience something to nibble on to enhance personal development and self-discovery.  After relocating to Ibadan, Oyo State, Western Nigeria, for high school at LifeForte International High School in 1999, she better learned her mother tongue and culture, Yoruba. While growing up in Northern Nigeria, she learned mostly English, Hausa and Pidgin English, as well as a bit of Yoruba.

At only age 16, Rachel began to study for her bachelor of science degree in economics at Eastern Mediterranean University (Dogu Akdeniz Universeti) in 2005. There she was part of the Famagusta church choir, the Nigerian female basketball team and worked in the international student liaison office, helping African students settle in Northern Cyprus. Her teaching career began here as a hobby, when she tutored her friends in mathematics and other subjects, especially for exams.  Two years later she relocated to the capital Lefkosa to continue her economics degree at Near East University (Yakin Dogu Universeti). Here, Rachel joined the international student liaison, danced in cultural dance shows and performed in church Christmas carols.

Rachel grew up singing in choir, and gifted with a soothing and uplifting voice, she yearned to be a music megastar. The headmistresses of her primary and secondary schools noticed this gift and encouraged her to harness it.  After graduating from university with a bachelor of science degree in economics at Near East University Northern Cyprus (a Turkish colony) and completing N.Y.S.C. in Nigeria, she decided to start her music career. It was rough and required a lot of financing, so she decided to work at various jobs and run businesses to help fund her passion.

Rachel is a certified voice actress and team lead providing communication strategy services at Wabbit’s Voices Media House and a certified hairstylist providing beauty and holistic spa services at Hair Candy by Rachie Salon & Spa, she also provides naturopathic culinary services at Raymensions Hospitality Empire in Lagos, Nigeria.
