In 2006, Lucy Pecora, a junior at Novato High School in California, was part of a GLEAN expedition that traveled to West Africa to research individual topics.

Lucy wanted to learn about the different religions practiced in West Africa and to find connections between them and her own spiritual beliefs. Along the way, she met new friends, experienced moments of pure happiness, and learned for herself what is truly important in life.
