A GREAT AFRICAN CHANGEMAKER.  KOFI ANNAN GENUINELY COMMITTED TO SERVE THE WORLD. BY NGNAOUSSI ELONGUE CHRISTIAN “Changemaker” is a term promoted by Ashoka, meaning one who desires change in the world and, by gathering knowledge and resources, makes that change happen. A changemaker is someone who makes a personal decision for their lives to be a part of the solution…part of the fight for a better world. And while the world is shocked after the death of the former first black African UN Secretary Kofi Annan, we want to recall his legacy as a great African changemaker who was a friend to thousands and a leader of millions.
