Rewarding and Affordable
July 16, 2025by: Albert Sam - United StatesMy experience volunteering through ogvo was very rewarding in Ghana. The coordinators were very efficient in getting me started on time. The found me the right opportunity in mental health services in Kumasi. I also had quite a rewarding staff and patient encounters at the hospital. Mr Frank always checked in to make sure everything is going as expected. Their fees are super affordable compared to other organizations in the region. Check them out if you are looking for a real educative rewarding volunteering experience in Ghana. Albert
Wonderful experience
April 04, 2025by: Angelina Gyapomaa - United StatesMy experience at Tafo Government Hospital was exceptional. The program manager, Mr. Frank, was extremely helpful. The nurses and doctors were nice and supportive. Kumasi is one of the best cities in Ghana with many rich cultures. There are so many places to visit as a tourist. The king's palace was one of my favorite places to visit. I was impressed with the outcome of this trip.
What a wonderful time!
November 02, 2021by: Andrew Kotz - United StatesI had the most fun time volunteering with OGVO! I did the volunteer Dental program at WillBen Dental Clinic, and couldn't have been happier with my experience. All the staff were exceedingly friendly, and were always happy that I was there to learn. My host family was probably the best part of my experience. I stayed with Bella, and her three wonderful children. It was such a blessing to have such a great host family that always stayed up talking to me, and making sure I was having a great time every day. Frank, the coordinator, even made sure that I was in a host family that had another volunteer as well, which I would highly recommend. The orientation process was very informative, and Frank even accompanied me from my work site to home for a the first couple days, to make sure I got around safe. If you are looking for a very, very immersive experience in Africa, this is the program. I had an incredible experience in my time in Ghana, and I met people that I will never forget.
