Latest Program Reviews

The house is comfortable house with several people (volunteers). It is kept very clean. There is plenty of room space and a nice dining room area with a nice sized porch that was great for socialisation after work. The staffs are great! They take really great care of all the volunteers. The cooking is great, they help you with laundry. They always say “good morning” and “how are you”. It is also wonderful that they brought us lunch at our placements. If I came to Ghana again I wouldn’t want to with anybody else. My placement was wonderful, I got the opportunity to teach and meet some wonderful kids and staff. The staffs made us feel important to the daily operation and extremely welcome. At my placement I was able to do things or teach things I was comfortable with but I was also able to challenge myself and put myself out of my comfort zone. This was good because it enabled me to grow as a person. Our tours of Ghana were awesome. I was able to experience more culture and learned a lot. Most of all I had fun. Going to see the cape coast castle was a very neat experience that made me think. I loved the canopy walk. It was amazing and it was great to be in a rain forest in nature like that. Seeing the street girls’ aid project in Accra was also an eye opening experience but it was great to know there are people that care and want to make a difference. Overall, my trip to Ghana was great. I would also highly recommend it to others.

Franklin, Wisdom, Doris and Josephine have all been very nice, accommodating and able to meet all of my needs. The staff has been absolutely excellent. Also I really appreciate that my personal belongings were safe and secure. The headmaster and teachers at my placement seemed grateful for our presence at the school. We were able to teach about American culture as well as learn about Ghana's culture. The older children were very inquisitive and interested in learning. The staff made adjustments to meet our needs and incorporate us into the school day. I loved the two days we toured Accra, Cape Coast and Kakum National Park. The highlight for me was the Cape Coast Castle and the history of slavery. Franklin and Wisdom were wonderful hosts
