LICOSESS College of Education and Change Agent Network/Opportunity Network Liberia (CAN/ONL) have signed a 15-year partnership aimed at improving teacher training, school management, and access to quality education in Liberia.

Signed on August 3, 2026, the agreement transfers the academic leadership and management of CAN Leadership Academy to LICOSESS, while ONL will continue providing strategic oversight. The partnership covers three campuses in Jacob Town, Montserrado County; Gbarnga, B**g County; and Neigbein, Nimba County.

Under the agreement, CAN Leadership Academy will serve as a demonstration school, allowing trainee teachers to gain practical classroom experience. The initiative also seeks to address the shortage of qualified teachers in rural communities and strengthen teaching standards.

Approximately 1,690 students across the three campuses are expected to benefit from the partnership. Planned activities include teacher training, infrastructure improvements, stronger financial accountability, and expanded educational opportunities. Both institutions say the initiative will promote better school management and improve learning outcomes across Liberia.

LICOSESS trains teachers from rural communities so they can remain and serve where they are needed most. CAN/ONL works to bring children and young people in rural Liberia the hope and opportunity of quality, affordable, and accessible education. Our missions align: stronger local teachers and better opportunities for the children they teach.

I am grateful to partner with Dr. Benjamin Y. Wehye and the LICOSESS team as we put this shared vision into action.

Special thanks to our stable and steadfast supporters, partners, donors, staff, friends, and family members for your continued support. Together, we are moving forward through education, faith, and economic freedom in Liberia. God bless you richly.

Mr. Eric W. Wowoh
CEO, CAN/ONL

A Personal Update to My Partners, Supporters, Friends, and Family

I want you to hear directly from me: I am perfectly fine, and I am not in jail. Thank you to everyone who has called, prayed, and checked on me.

I deny the criminal allegations concerning my property transaction with the Acquahs. The agreed purchase price was US$30,500. According to my records, they missed multiple payment deadlines and never paid the full amount. I did not issue them any receipts for payments toward the property, and I did not sign a deed or title transferring ownership to them. Any claimed payments should be supported by records and properly accounted for.

In my view, their failure to complete payment breached our agreement. Any dispute over payments or an amount owed can be pursued through the appropriate civil process, including the Debt Court if it has jurisdiction. I will continue to respond to the criminal allegations in court, using the evidence available to me.

Three days ago, my lawyer and I appeared at the Monrovia City Court as the judge directed. But the Acquahs' legal team did not show up. For those who want to read my fuller response, it is reported by The Liberian Investigator at: https://liberianinvestigator.com/charged-in-us30500-land-deal-eric-wowoh-denies-fraud-and-challenges-police-allegations/

This has been deeply painful. Some of the people now in conflict with me are people I once welcomed to Liberia, helped reconnect with home, supported as they got established or started businesses, and, in some cases, helped through school at all levels. From my perspective, people who once knew me and the work of Change Agent Network have spent years trying to damage my reputation and undermine that work.

My faith remains firm. God gave me the grace to carry this mission, and I trust Him to sustain me. I remain focused on serving the children, families, and communities who count on CAN.

Thank you for your love, prayers, and support.

Wozi Town gives 150 Acres to CAN University for an Education and Agriculture Partnership in Zorzor District, Lofa County, Northern Liberia.
Wozi Town has granted 150 acres of customary land to Change Agent Network University (CAN-U) in a partnership designed to turn community land into an engine for education, agriculture, and jobs.
The memorandum of understanding, signed on February 1, 2026, and notarized on February 4, commits CAN-U to using the land for agricultural and institutional development while providing educational opportunities for young people from Wozi. The arrangement reportedly includes a formal land survey.
The partnership builds on the educational vision of Eric Willise Wowoh, a native of Fissibu Town, Lofa County, whose work has focused on increasing access to education in rural communities. Wowoh’s educational initiatives grew from community support for schooling and later developed into CAN University. For Wozi, the new agreement matters because the town still lives with the legacy of Liberia’s civil wars. A memorial in the community records the reported deaths of 236 people on April 19, 1994, although the exact circumstances and casualty figure require confirmation from independent historical sources.
The land is intended to support commercial farming of crops such as palm, coffee, rubber, and vegetables, along with livestock production. The agricultural project is expected to help generate income for the university while creating practical opportunities for students and employment for residents. CAN-U has also pledged full sponsorship for an initial 15 Wozi students, with another 15 to be admitted after the first cohort graduates. In addition, the university has committed to expanding Mulbah Yorkor Public School from Grade 6 through Grade 12, with plans for a library, computer laboratory, administrative facilities, toilets, textbooks, and sports and musical equipment.
The agreement strongly emphasizes local participation and accountability. Wozi citizens are to receive first preference for employment created by the agricultural project, while CAN-U is prohibited from selling, leasing, mortgaging, or transferring the land to another party. If major development does not begin within three years, Wozi Town reserves the right to reclaim the land. The agreement has a 20-year term and provides that the land returns to Wozi if the partnership is terminated. Daniel W. Sopo, Wozi’s Monrovia and diaspora chief, said residents hope the commitments will be honored, describing education as a pathway to rebuilding the town’s human resources and future.

Subject: Report on Motor Vehicle Accident During Official Joint Institutional Transition Activities

Oh! It’s Just God!

1. Purpose of the Report
This report documents the motor vehicle accident that occurred on Friday, July 31, 2026, while traveling on official duty in connection with the implementation of the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between Opportunity Network Liberia (ONL) and LICOSESS College of Education for the management and operation of the CAN Leadership Academy School System.

It further confirms that despite the accident, all critical transition activities were successfully completed as scheduled.

2. Background
Following a series of strategic engagements between Opportunity Network Liberia (ONL), Change Agent Network (CAN), and LICOSESS College of Education, discussions culminated in the signing of a historic fifteen-year Memorandum of Agreement for the management and transformation of the CAN Leadership Academy School System into a network of LICOSESS Demonstration Schools.

The major preparatory activities included:
• July 16, 2026: Initial visit by Dr. Benjamin Yele Wehye to the CAN Leadership Academy in Jacobs Town following discussions with Mr. Eric Willise Wowoh, Chief Executive Officer of Opportunity Network Liberia and Change Agent Network.
• July 17, 2026: Courtesy and planning visit by Mr. Eric Wowoh to LICOSESS College of Education.
• July 19, 2026: Joint institutional assessment and inventory exercise covering the CAN campuses in B**g and Nimba Counties.
• July 16–28, 2026: Drafting, review, negotiation, and finalization of the Memorandum of Agreement.
• July 29, 2026: Joint implementation planning meeting involving both institutions.
• July 30–31, 2026: Administrative, faculty, and support staff transition meetings across the three CAN campuses.
• August 1, 2026: Official signing ceremony of the fifteen-year Memorandum of Agreement at the CAN Leadership Academy in B**g County.

The meetings of July 30 and 31 were particularly important because they introduced the new management structure, explained institutional policies, prepared staff for the September reopening, and officially launched the transition process.
3. Events Leading to the Accident
The administrative and faculty meetings at the Jacobs Town campus on Thursday, July 30, 2026, were successfully conducted.
For Friday, July 31, 2026, two meetings had been scheduled:
• B**g County – 11:00 AM
• Nimba County – 2:00 PM
Prior to departure from Monrovia, I experienced mechanical concerns involving the left rear wheel of my vehicle. The vehicle was inspected by a mechanic, who assured me that the issue had been corrected and that the vehicle was safe to travel.

To avoid delaying the scheduled meetings, Dr. Benjamin Yele Wehye and his team departed ahead of me while I completed the mechanical repairs before beginning my journey.

4. Description of the Accident
At approximately 12:45 PM on Friday, July 31, 2026, while descending a hill near Cooper's Farm in Margibi County, the vehicle experienced a sudden catastrophic mechanical failure.

The left rear axle shaft assembly, which connects the rear wheel to the differential and transmits power to the wheel, failed unexpectedly. As a result, the left rear wheel collapsed outward, causing the vehicle to lose stability almost instantly.

The vehicle veered sharply off the roadway into a deep water-filled ditch before rolling over twice.
The accident occurred in a relatively isolated area with very little traffic.

Immediately following the rollover, I found myself restrained by the seatbelt inside the vehicle. The cabin had been severely disturbed, making it difficult to orient myself and open the driver's door. After several moments of effort, I was able to free myself and safely exit the vehicle without assistance.

Because of the isolated location, approximately ten minutes passed before nearby residents became aware of the accident and came to render assistance.

5. Safety Systems and Divine Protection
Upon exiting the vehicle, I immediately realized, by the grace of Almighty God, that I had sustained no cuts, bruises, fractures, or other visible injuries, nor was I experiencing any significant pain.

The vehicle's safety systems functioned exactly as designed.
Both side curtain airbags deployed immediately upon impact and rollover, while the seatbelt remained securely fastened throughout the accident, preventing ejection from the vehicle and minimizing bodily movement inside the passenger compartment.

The frontal airbags did not deploy because the vehicle did not experience a direct frontal collision with a fixed object. Instead, the impact resulted from the vehicle leaving the roadway and rolling into the ditch.

Had the seatbelt not been worn or had the side airbags failed to deploy, the outcome could have been far more serious, potentially resulting in severe injury or loss of life.

I remain profoundly grateful to God for His divine protection during this incident.

6. Immediate Actions Taken
Recognizing the importance of the scheduled institutional meetings and the urgency of maintaining the implementation timeline for the transition of the schools before the commencement of student registration and reopening activities, I immediately initiated measures to ensure that the official assignment continued without interruption.

I first contacted CAN representatives in Margibi County to proceed immediately to the accident scene and secure the damaged vehicle.

I also informed the Town Chief of a nearby community, who promptly organized several young men to remain with and safeguard the vehicle until members of the CAN team arrived.

After confirming that the vehicle was secure, I hired a commercial taxi and continued my journey to B**g County.

7. Continuation of Official Assignment
While I was en route, Dr. Benjamin Yele Wehye successfully conducted the scheduled administrative, faculty, and support staff meeting at the B**g campus. I arrived in B**g County at approximately 2:15 PM, changed my clothing, and immediately joined Dr. Wehye's vehicle as we proceeded to the CAN Leadership Academy campus in Nimba County.

We arrived in Gompa at approximately 4:00 PM, where the scheduled meeting with administrators, teachers, and support staff was successfully conducted. Despite the accident, all official meetings scheduled for July 31 were completed.

8. Successful Signing Ceremony
On Saturday, August 1, 2026, the official signing ceremony of the fifteen-year Memorandum of Agreement proceeded exactly as planned at the CAN Leadership Academy in B**g County.
The ceremony was attended by:
• Leadership of Opportunity Network Liberia (ONL);
• Leadership of LICOSESS College of Education;
• Students of LICOSESS College of Education;
• Community leaders;
• Members of the media;
• Stakeholders from Montserrado, B**g, and Nimba Counties;
• Mr. Momo V. Ware, Country Manager of Opportunity Network Liberia.
The event successfully marked the formal commencement of the new partnership and the transition of the CAN Leadership Academy into the LICOSESS Demonstration School System.

9. Recovery of the Vehicle
Following the successful conclusion of the signing ceremony, the return journey to Monrovia commenced at approximately 4:00 PM.

During the journey, we made a scheduled stop at the accident site in Margibi County. By that time, arrangements had already been made to recover the damaged vehicle.

Heavy equipment, including a grader, had been engaged to carefully pull the vehicle from the water-filled ditch onto the roadway before transporting it to a nearby town for temporary safekeeping pending mechanical assessment and insurance or repair decisions.

10. Conclusion
Although the accident resulted in significant damage to the vehicle, it did not prevent the successful ex*****on of the institutional transition activities.

By God's grace, there was no loss of life and no physical injuries were sustained. More importantly, every major activity connected to the transition—including the administrative meetings, faculty engagements, implementation planning, and the historic signing of the fifteen-year Memorandum of Agreement—was completed successfully and without interruption.

This experience serves as a reminder of both the importance of vehicle safety and maintenance and the commitment shared by Opportunity Network Liberia, Change Agent Network, and LICOSESS College of Education to place institutional responsibilities above personal inconvenience while ensuring that appropriate safety measures are always observed.

I extend sincere appreciation to Dr. Benjamin Yele Wehye for ensuring continuity of the scheduled meetings during my delay; to the CAN representatives in Margibi County for securing the accident scene; to the Town Chief and community members who assisted immediately after the accident; and to the leadership and staff of ONL, CAN, and LICOSESS whose cooperation ensured that this important transition proceeded successfully despite an unforeseen and potentially tragic incident. God is good and faithful!

Respectfully submitted,
Eric Wowoh, CEO

🇺🇸 Happy Independence Day, America! 🇺🇸

Today, as the United States celebrates 250 years of independence, I join millions around the world in giving thanks to Almighty God for this great nation.

Twenty years ago, God opened a door for me to come to America. That opportunity changed the course of my life and gave me a platform to serve others, especially in my beloved homeland of Liberia. For that, I will always be deeply grateful to God and to the American people.
Jesus reminds us in Luke 12:48: "To whom much is given, much will be required."

America has been blessed with extraordinary freedom, opportunity, and generosity. Through the compassion and partnership of its people, countless lives—including thousands here in Liberia—have been transformed. We have truly been blessed to be a blessing.

On behalf of Change Agent Network (CAN), thank you to every church, family, organization, volunteer, and friend who has prayed, partnered, and invested in our mission over the years. Your kindness continues to bring hope, expand educational opportunities, and change lives.

As we celebrate this historic milestone, may God continue to bless the United States with wisdom, peace, unity, and renewed purpose.

Happy 250th Independence Day! 🇺🇸
May God bless America, and may God bless each of you.
