This was my first international experience and it was nothing short of perfect! My placement was in my professional field and I enjoyed going to work everyday and had many meaningful interactions. I was there for only a week but I feel like the program was packed full of volunteer, and cultural experiences. There were trips almost everyday after work that allowed me to see beautiful sites and meet local people.
The staff members were truly helpful, informative, passionate, and caring. I appreciated feeling like I was able to talk to them about any concerns, and I felt no pressure to do anything that I may not have wanted to do. We were provided with fantastic meals, and accommodations that were basic, but comfortable. They were a much needed support system and made Ghana feel like a home away from home.
Overall wonderful experience that I would recommend to anyone. It was worth more than the cost! A volunteer experience that felt like I received more than I gave : )
