One brave AU Abroad student showed up in Nigeria to take the opportunity of a lifetime by doing a service learning course at American University of Nigeria. Liz Bayer is discussing her seven-week Nigeria summer experience in her blog, which any study abroad student thinking about Africa in general should check out. Here she's with some enthusiastic kids reading a book that came with a nice gold crown, one of the best (but there were lots of 'the best'!) in the recent shipment for community service. Everyone pictured got to wear the crown while the story was read... and of course, everyone deserved to.Liz is doing her service learning at the Tulsi Chanrai Mission for Vision eye clinic (I blogged about their pediatric eye camp here) and has already absorbed tons about the community, as well as how Nigerians perceive other Nigerians and their surroundings. She also has lots of opinions about the Nigeria reality/media coverage discrepancy. I love being able to give people an opportunity to be fully influenced by their new-turning-into-the-familiar environment!
