Volunteer Abroad for 9-12 Weeks

The trip was so interesting in terms of the diverse activities we did and the animals we could see. it was a dream to see the savanna and the animals and we had the opportunity to do a safari in masai mara which was amazing. we didn't expect to do that many activities, we visited touristic places in the first 2 weeks. the weather was great, sunny but not too hot and then it became hotter and hotter but still nice. the program with the giraffes was amazing, seeing these giants for real and in the natural environment is something else. they are such wonderful animals and we are grateful to have helped for their conservation. The local team was helpful, kind and Laban is the best guide! they made our experience in Kenya unforgettable and easy. we really appreciated the food and the accommodation was great, except some water issues but always solved in 1 day. Maybe updating some infos on the website because it is written "no wifi" in the accommodation.

I had the pleasure of spending a short time in Kumasi, sight seeing, volunteering at a local hospital, and spending time forming relationships with my host family and others. I feel that OGVO provides an excellent opportunity for anyone who may want to be immersed in the Ghanaian culture, and experience life as the Ghanaians do. I was both challenged and blessed throughout my short-duration there and would highly recommend this organization for anyone wanting to volunteer in Ghana and experience and learn of the culture. I also have to give honor to the program Director Frank Odoi who is exceptional. His assistance and communication with his volunteers ensuring their safety, comfort, and great experience during their stay spoke volumes. I am beyond grateful for the time spent, and even more so for the people I've gotten to meet at my host home, as well as the wonderful nurses I've connected with at my project site. If you're looking to affordibly tour or volunteer in Ghana, OGVO is the way to go!
