Our goal

Our Father - Gerardo Behori Sipi Botau - passed away Thanksgiving 2024. In honor of his over 2 decades as a high school Spanish teacher as well as his love for higher education, my brother and I have launched the Gerardo Behori Dream Fund. This fund will raise scholarship money for students from West and Central Africa who are seeking educational opportunities in the U.S. My father was born in Equatorial Guinea and would be happy to know that -- through this scholarship fund -- he can help students from the region achieve their dreams too.

Mr Jerry (Gerardo Behori) was a teacher who absolutely cared about his students and was passionate about teaching. It always showed! Multiple students have came forward with the same story, that he was an amazing teacher. He built special connections with many of us and we will never forget his impact on our learning. I will always remember Mr Jerry’s jokes, kindness, and his swag style. Thank you Mr Jerry for being one of my teachers. Tu legado vivirá por siempre.

I was a student of Behori (we called him Jerry) and he was always hard on me, but always looked out for me. Always had time to fist bump when he saw me. Such a good man ya know even though sometimes me and my friend Shymari would always talk and ignore the class, that was just us being goofballs. And Jerry knew that which is way he didn’t really snap about that! But R.I.P Jerry.

A scholarship fund is beautiful way to honor your Dad. I am sure your father was so proud of the two wonderful children he and your Mom raised. My prayers are with all of you and may you cherish and find peace in the memories of your Dad.
