The Lighthouse Centre has bid farewell to 20-year-old Delron Gaoseb from Katutura, Windhoek, who is among eight young people from across the world selected by the Young People's Christian Association to study and provide community service in Germany.

Gaoseb has been serving as an archery volunteer at the centre since completing his school.

He will continue in a similar role as an archery volunteer with the Young People's Christian Association in Germany. 

As part of his journey, he will have the opportunity to choose a vocational course to study for free and learn the German language in his first year.

According to the programme director at Lighthouse, Gaoseb was selected for the German programme due to his background and passion for archery.

Gaoseb expressed gratitude for the opportunity, attributing his selection to divine intervention.

He also encouraged young people to never give up on their dreams.

The Lighthouse Centre is not only home to an archery team but also serves as a school and operates a feeding programme that supports vulnerable families.
