The Journey

During the civil war in Liberia, Africa, 1990, rebels captured young Eric Wowoh. When Eric refused to become a child soldier, he was beaten, tortured, and left to die. Miraculously, Eric escaped, and survived while moving between refugee camps across 11 West African nations. In the 12th year of his exile, a friend gave Eric a computer. Eric mastered the computer, and began teaching other refugees to use it. In three short years, Eric and his fellow refugees built two computer schools on the refugee camp, and trained over 700 refugees. From one single computer, and his relentless humanitarian drive, Eric forged the groundwork for Change Agent Network.

Change Agent Network, CAN, is transforming Liberia through education. They have successfully built 14 schools on 3 campuses in 5 counties across Liberia. 1,400 students have graduated from CAN schools, and are contributing to the world in big ways. The current Presidential Press Secretary to Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Mr. Jerelimic Piah, is a CAN beneficiary. From its start as a single computer, CAN has become an instrument of change in Liberia. To continue to help CAN transform Liberia through education . Visit www.canintl.org for more information.
