Our volunteers > Volunteers in Nigeria
Aine Lynch
Aine Lynch swapped a library in Dublin for a library in Minna, Nigeria.
"Nigeria is a warm, vibrant and challenging place! Despite the massive oil-wealth, the vast majority of people live in very humble circumstances. Many live on next-to-nothing. Yet people are welcoming, and invariably good humour is met with good humour. A placement in Nigeria would be challenging, rewarding and would never be dull!"
Kevin O'Rourke
Kevin travelled to Nigeria to work as Information and Communication Technology coordinator for the National Teachers' Institute.
"I hope that I'm contributing skills and knowledge that my colleagues will go on to use to improve education in Nigeria."
Jennifer Ehidiamen
Jennifer Ehidiamen was one of nine Nigerians who joined nine British youths in a reciprocal exchange between Birmingham, England and Jos, Nigeria, under the Global Xchange programme.
"Volunteering in Nigeria exposed me to learning new things about the country. It helped me appreciate the multi-cultural diversity of Nigeria. And most importantly, it taught me a lot about how exploring the vast human resources in the country through volunteerism can contribute to the Nation’s growth and development."
