BERLIN ­ Students from Wor-
cester Preparatory School (WPS)
are working to provide funding for
new technology at an underprivi-
leged school through a project they
are calling Students CAN: Change
A Nation.
Inspired by the book Half of the
Sky and having spent much of the
last school year searching for a wor-
thy project, WPS students Lucas
Baier and Claire Stickler revealed
that their first choice was actually to
try to fund the construction of a new
school in a third-world country. But
with the economy still suffering a
limp, Baier said that it was difficult to
find the funding opportunities to
move ahead with a new school.
"Initially, we started off trying to
build a school, but then the World
Bank cut the funding that they used
to match funding," he said.
But the roughly half-dozen stu-
dents who form CAN rebounded
quickly, said Stickler, and decided
that if they couldn't build a new
school they would drastically im-
prove one that already exists. So
the group partnered with World As-
sistance for Cambodia (WAC) with
the intent of providing technology
for their newly adopted school in
that country: the St. Paul School of
Hope.
