the world
somehow,but I had no idea how to do
's when I learned about the Lighthouse Project.
I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project
volunteer by reading as much as I could about the
experiences of previous volunteers.I knew it
would be a lot of hard work,and that I would
be away from my family and friends for a very long
short,I did not take my decision to
apply for
the Lighthouse Project r did my family.
Eventually,however,I won the support of my
family,and I sent in all the paperwork needed for
countless interviews and
presentations,I
managed to stand out among the candidates and
survive the test l months later,I finally received
a call asking me to
report for duty.I would be
going to a small village near
Abuja,?What?Nigeria?I had no I was about to find
out.
After completing my training,I was sent
to the village that was small and desperately in
need of proper the local
villagers were
poor,they offered their homes,hearts,and food as
if I were their own family.I was asked to lead a
small team of local people in
building a new
the next year or so,I taught in that same I
sometimes think I learned more from my students
than they did from me.
Sometime during
that period,I realized that all those things that
had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer
did,though I did not get
anywhere with the
local language,and I returned to the United States
a different Lighthouse Project had changed my
life forever.

you'd like to eat this long he's rushed off to
the market to buy the
ingredients for whatever
it was that you ordered-every meal fresh and to
menu here.

paper,they would make sure that they got the
recycled ordered their
fish from fish
farms,making sure that the fish they received were
not too young and too only used animals that were
