Teaching in Ghana

My time teaching in Cape Coast, Ghana was a wonderful experience. The Projects Abroad staff were always available and extremely helpful. For example, I got sick during my first week and they immediately brought me a doctor and took care of contacting my placement. When I did start volunteering, it was at a wonderful school close to where I was living. Teaching the children was an exciting challenge and the Projects Abroad office had some great resources for me to use in my lessons. They also had weekly events to put me in touch with other volunteers and I made a bunch of great friends who were always up for traveling on the weekend. Overall, Cape Coast was a lovely city where I always felt safe and was greeted by people. My only regret was that I didn't stay longer!
