Program Highlights

In Ghana, Projects Abroad interns work in city clinics.

In the mornings this involves dealing with pets such as dogs and cats, but many of the patients are small back garden livestock like goats and chickens.

In the afternoon there are sometimes opportunities to go out into the field to visit farms.

You'll learn how to handle different animals and will see examples of diseases and conditions that have almost been eradicated in developed countries.

Your input will be greatly encouraged and appreciated.

The company makes sure you are safe and placed into a good and sweet family and they really cares about you. They make fun activities and help if you want to travel around with other volunteers in the weekends. I would recommend to travel with Projects Abroad.
