Ghana is an incredible country

Overall, this is a very well organized program, with a great support structure. The program management staff was just okay, but the in-country staff was absolutely amazing. I will remember them forever. It's been a while, but I wonder if Makafui is still there running the show!

When I did the program, I was placed in Akatsi, a very small "town". I'm not sure if they're placing there anymore. Our volunteer house was in the middle of a small village, where we were greeted by the village chief every time we entered! The housing was very safe, but did feel a bit removed from the community in terms of immersion.

The food the staff cooked was incredible - more than you could ever eat, but we'd force ourselves just to see the look of joy on their faces!

Don't forget to take your malaria pills! I got it while I was there, despite being on the pills, but I was well taken care of.
