With his students at Metuchen High School in New Jersey, he has successfully helped broker the release of 40 children who were slaves in the fisheries of Lake Volta in Ghana. His organization, Breaking the Chains through Education is now funding a Ghanaian social worker to ensure the well-being of the rescued children – in community life and at school. Evan’s high school students make presentations in their community about the children who are enslaved in the fisheries of the West African nation and actions that every day people in the United States can do to help.
