Like many new graduates, I left university full of hope for the future but with no real idea of what I wan?ted to do. My degree, with honours, in English litera?ture had not really prepared me for anything practical. I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world some?how, but I had no idea how to do that. That's when I learned about the Lighthouse Project.
I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volun?teer 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 time. In short, I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly. Nei?ther did my family.
Eventually, however, I won the support of my family, and I sent in all the paperwork needed for appli?cation. After countless interviews and presentations, I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone. Several months later, I finally received a call asking me to report for duty. I would be going to a small village near Abuja,Nigeria. Where? What? Ni?geria? I had no idea. But I was about to find out.
After completing my training, I was sent to the vil?lage that was small and desperately in need of proper ac?commodation. Though 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 lo?cal people in building a new schoolhouse. For the next year or so, I taught in that same schoolhouse. But 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 man. The Lighthouse Project had changed my life forever.
