I spent 7 unforgettable days volunteering across Nigeria — in Lagos, Enugu, and Abuja — on a mission to give back, inspire, and connect with young minds.
Throughout the week, I had the opportunity to:
✅ Visit special needs children’s homes
✅ Spend time at local orphanages
✅ Conduct Dream Job Workshops at several schools
✅ Host General Knowledge Quizzes with enthusiastic students
✅ Lead a Creative Writing Workshop in a fifth school
📍 Day 1 – Abuja:
I kicked off in Abuja, leading the "My Dream Job" workshop at both a primary + secondary school and a girls’ secondary school. This was supported by odysseyedufoundation.org Students shared their future aspirations, role models, and dreams — from doctors to engineers, fueled by personal stories and big goals.
📍 Day 2 – Orphanage & Special Needs Visits:
We spent time with children in two orphanages and a special needs home — sharing gifts, stories, and moments of joy that I’ll never forget.
📍 Day 3 – Lagos Food Bank:
In Lagos, I volunteered with the Lagos Food Bank, helping package and distribute food packs. I also donated clothes and shoes — small items that I hope made a big difference (lagosfoodbank.org/about-us/who-we-are/)
📍 Day 4 – Girls High School in My Village:
Back in my village, I hosted another "My Dream Job" workshop paired with a fun and educational quiz session — the energy and passion from these girls were contagious.
📍 Day 5 – Literacy Workshop in Nsukka:
In Enyiduru (Nsukka), we held a writing and reading workshop with quizzes — helping children build confidence in self-expression and literacy (enyiduru.de/)
📍 Day 6 – Orphanage Visits in Agbani:
Another emotional day visiting orphanages in Agbani, where I got to share time, resources, and lots of smiles with the children.
📍 Day 7 – Private School in Emene, Enugu:
We wrapped up with the final "My Dream Job" workshop and quizzes at a private high school in Emene — rounding off a week filled with purpose, learning, and connection.
These experiences were deeply emotional, educational, and fulfilling. Each child, each story, and each moment reaffirmed my belief in the power of community service, education, and creativity to change lives.
🌍 Whether you're considering volunteering abroad or looking for inspiration to make a difference locally — I hope this video encourages you to take that step.
✨ Thank you to everyone who made this journey possible.
