Great experience

September 24, 2024by: Laura Sexton - United KingdomProgram: Low Cost, Meaningful Volunteer Placements in Ghana

I have to admit I was out of my comfort zone and a bit apprehensive to travel to Ghana at first but I had the most amazing time. I loved that there was different projects to choose from like the teaching in schools and ecobricking (sadly turtle conservation wasn’t there when I was). The vibe from the locals and all the staff was amazing and I couldn’t fault them. If you’re looking to push yourself out of your comfort zone this is a great opportunity.

Overall a great experience

Overall a great experience, the month I spent there went by way too fast. For school it's better to stay longer if possible, otherwise you have to leave right when you start to get to know all the kids.

This experience was very enriching

This experience was very enriching, it is a great opportunity to discover a new culture and to live in a community. I was there for three months and it was ideal for me because I had enough time to work on different placements (education and environmantal cause mainly), to see each project evolve and also adapt in a new country.
