Thats 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

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 local people in building a new scho
6、olhouse. For the next year or so, I taught in that same schoolhouse. But I sometimes thought I learned more from my students than they did from me. Sometime during that period, I realised that all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did, though I did not get anywhere w

11、nd I want to be a doctor like my father to help children in Africa.”I immediately knew I had the right person when a knowing smile flashed across her face. “Johann, of course! You can do anything you want to do！” she said simply. And with my grandmothers support, I set out to pursue my passions.14 y
12、ears later, I was well ready to realize my first dream: becoming an Olympic champion. The Olympics in 1994 were in my home country, Norway. As I entered the Olympic stadium, I wasnt the best athlete, and many had doubts about in my ability to perform well. But I had something special working for me.

The reason had to be more than a grandmother who shared a belief in her grandsons dream. The question led me to only one answer: because I wanted to make a difference in the world, and wi
15、th all the media attention on my success, I could.I immediately knew what that difference had to be: hope in the lives of the children in Africa.
