Volunteer and Coach Sports in Ghana

Everything was very smooth and straight forward. They gave me all of the information I needed for my visa and all the contact information I would need once I arrived. Everything they said would happen, happened just as they said. Everyone was very welcoming, from the people who ran it to the village I was in. The location of service was great to assist. The team who took care of us in the house was very nice. They always checked in with is and even adjusted food as people requested. They all helped and control everything they could and supported us if there was anything they couldnt. It was an overall great experience and I cannot wait to do it again!

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!

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.
