Atlas Volunteers - Review

From the first moment I arrived in the volunteer house I really felt welcomed. Not only the other volunteers but also the people who organized the projects were so lovely and helped me with settling into this new environment. There is always something going on at the volunteer house, you will play games together, sit and chat together or just read books next to each other. I really enjoyed the time we had at the house. 
I signed up for the project teaching, which was a perfect fit for me. One thing which is really cool at Atlas Volunteers is that everything really is flexible and can bring in new ideas or new ways of doing things into teaching. I would do Reading Club with the kids, which meant spending one-on-one time with the kids. The levels of the kids were all quite different, so with some kids I would read and others I would teach the alphabet. Teaching the children was really fulfilling. Most of the kids were so enthusiastic about learning new things and everyday was truly amazing. 
On the weekends we mostly explored Ghana and saw so many new things and there are so many sights to see in the area. Even during the week the Atlas family did a lot of exploring and hanging out together, which was really nice to get to know all of the people and get along with them. 
That is also my next point. You will really meet so many amazing and kind people traveling to Ghana and staying with Atlas Volunteers. In total I stayed five weeks in Ghana and during these weeks I met wonderful people, not only the other volunteers but also locals from the nearby towns.
