I'm thrilled by the tremendous unwavering efforts the Lighthouse is applying to appease our quest by providing scholarship opportunity for us. This opportunity is actually meant to alleviate poverty from the lives of our family. I'm grateful to the Lighthouse for the opportunity afforded by granting me scholarship and I am going to utilize this opportunity to become a better person.

I'm Garmay Emmanuel Vessellee born July 23, 1987. I am a Liberian by nationality.
Being raised in a low country like Liberia and unfortunately coming from an impoverish background, going to School has been so difficult both at secondary and University levels. It has been by the grace of God and my own sweat by rendering services to wealthy community dwellers just to raise funds to facilitate my academic sojourn up to date.
I'm profound graduate of the University of Liberia with a BSc degree in Agriculture. I hold several certificates from the YALI NETWORK Online.

Hi, I am Prince N. Lomie from Liberia, West Africa. Lighthouse has been a great partner to me and many other youths in Liberia. Their contribution to me and many other youths in Liberia over the years has been a great one in helping us to find a scholarship opportunity to go abroad for further studies in meeting our career aspirations. They have also inspired me with the knowledge of finding greater opportunities available on various social media platforms and how to navigate some of these difficult university application portals.

I have been volunteering for this organization in its fight to reduce fentanyl and other dangerous drugs from the community. I also performed some of my volunteer assignments virtually. Yes, with this organization, one can volunteer virtually and in person. I have also taken part in its evangelistic outreach program to promote the gospel of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Though it is a Christian charity, it offers its services free to all without regard to religion, race, sex, national origin or disability.

Lighthouse Ministries is a great nonprofit organization. I attended two of their workshops - one dealing with drug and substabce abuse prevention, and the other, helping to reduce violence and crime in our community. There were over 60 young people in attendance at each workshop. As a former drug abuser myself, my life was changed just by attending the drug workshop. At the other workshop on crime prevention in Memphis, TN, over 25 young people agreed to relinguish violence and work towards mutual tolerance, peace, and good citizens. At each workshop, food and drinks were provided freely to all attendees. Today, I am telling other young people about the dangers of substance and drug abuse. Thanks to this fine charity - I am a changed man from drug abuse.

We have been educating the local populace on HIV/AIDS prevention; educating against combatting the deadly disease, malaria. We have also distributed up to date, 5600, mosquito nets. This is a very good organization. We still need more mosquito nets, and clothes.
