Frankadua, Ghana: October-December 17

December 14, 2017by: Mohak Grover - AustraliaProgram: Volunteer and Coach Sports in Ghana

My program stay was for 8 weeks and it was one the greatest experience of my life! Right from the beginning, the local staff (especially Evans) were really welcoming and supportive. At first I was mainly involved with sports teaching (football) but the program is pretty flexible and I got an opportunity to teach grade 4 kids at a school and go on multiple malaria outreaches to various schools around the district. I wish I could've stayed for a longer time as there was not a single moment of boredom thanks to the other volunteers, the local kids and especially to my program coordinator Giles and 'The Boss' Evans who make this program so extraordinary!

Hi Mohak - I'm so thrilled to hear the Ghana Program was one of the greatest experiences of your life! The flexibility of this program is always a draw for our volunteers, so it's great to hear you were able to benefit from the other project opportunities during your time on the program. It's always great to hear good feedback about our team in country - we're big fans of them, and glad to hear you were too. We hope to have you join us again in the future! ^Kaila - IVHQ Ghana Program Manager

I just completed my 8 week program of sports Teaching in Frankadua, Ghana. It has been no doubt one of the most amazing experiences of my life so far. From the moment we landed in Ghana, IVHQ staff was there to ensure safety and security until we had left. During the program, IVHQ staff located in Frankadua were more than welcoming and treated everyone with respect. As a sports teacher, you would regularly go to schools and teach P.E. as well as coaching after school sports teams. If you are ever considering doing any volunteering with IVHQ, don’t hesitate as it was an amazing experience that I will never forget.

I visited Ghana with IVHQ September 2017 for 8 weeks. I can easily say it was the best experience of my life. The staff, community and other volunteers were all so welcoming, friendly and co-operative and truly made it my most enjoyable trip i've ever been on. I've made friends for life and will definitely be returning.
