Linda Chow Kordze is the founder of Dekpor School Development Organisation and it is her vision that has lead the growth and development of DSDO. Linda coordinates the efforts between the countries, is the liaison with Ghanaian government officials (such as the Director of Education, Ministry of Education, Ministry of Social Welfare), hosts the volunteer teachers, and facilitates the sponsorship programme.
Born and raised in downtown Toronto, Linda graduated from Riverdale Collegiate and the University of Toronto. She retired after more than 25 years of teaching elementary school. The last nine years were spent teaching music in the Toronto District School Board, and it was during this time that Linda developed an interest in Ghanaian music.
She is the author of Kpanlogo Songs of Ghana. Linda's two daughters are very supportive of this project and have both been to Dekpor. Linda is currently living in Ghana.
