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.
