Since 2001 and 2002, I became motivated to connect to the iEARN global family, my interaction amongst youth led to the first establishment of iEARN ICT and peace clubs at my former high school: Albert Academy Secondary School.

Till 2005, in my school, I became first the club head, and spearheading meeting in peace, ICT and youth empowerment. My principle, Mr. Albert Fofie Kawa, seen in me bathing amazing, and wanted to see how iEARN Sierra Leone is changing the lives of the youth.

This created new windows of opportunity for my school. Andrew Greene, endevour the shipment of 10: computers to Albert Academy school for the expansion of iEARN Sierra Leone in the school.

I realized that I must not stop my activitism in my school, and so decided to extend in other schools where youth can experience the power of I.C.T.
So my outreach campaign and propagation of the ideals of iEARN reached as far as 12 schools.

Through iEARN, I was opportune to involved in a variety of workshops, including international youth day: which was held on the 10th of august 2005, also participated at the hands up for girls education, that was on 15th of February 2003.
