Experience of a Lifetime

5 weeks in Ghana and it was an experience that ended way too soon and fast. What started out as a seemingly long trip went by in the blink of an eye and felt that it was coming to an end just as it was only starting. I did the program with IVHQ / Volunteer Corps Ghana and it was definitely a good decision because the organisation made sure that we had what we needed to get assimilated with the place and were well taken care of while contributing to the community. A special mention about...

At the weekends and in the evenings we chilled out, travelled to various other townships to markets and once to cape coast wh...

An incredible 3 months!

I traveled to Ghana January 15th, 2017 to volunteer in the IVHQ Ghana Agriculture program. I had no idea what I was getting into as signing up for the trip was sort of a spur of the moment deal. I was originally scheduled to spend two months in Ghana and then spend a month or two traveling Europe. I ended up having such and amazing experience in Ghana that I cancelled the Europe travel and extended my time in Ghana to 3 months! Throughout the entire trip I felt completely safe and confid...
