 Emile
Toby, a student from Sierra Leone, Africa,
wrote in the MY
HERO Guestbook:
My hero is Andrew
Greene, the iEARN
Sierra Leone volunteer coordinator.
(He works) relentlessly to bring... attention (to) the local
and international community...the human rights violations
of children in armed conflict. As a war affected child myself
and participant in iEARN activities, I have been inspired
by my leader's unwavering service... giving voices to youths
affected by war. When I lost my father, and my mother, I had
no hopes of recovery, no hopes of food, health, education
etc. Through the association with iEARN that Andrew brought
us, today there is hope.
