GVI Ghana was amazing!

Base was like home from home after the initial settling in, staff was friendly, professional and always ready to help. Based in Kokrobite, they told everything we needed to know safety, food, culture, how to be respectful and where we could and couldn't go.

Clean and safe base with running water (cold) and full kitchen for use. Plenty of storage for personal items, we where took to the mall once a week to buy anything we needed.

The dinamics between staff and intern/volunteers where relaxed and friendly which meant there was no staff/boss nerves when it came to projects. This also meant staff where always open to editing and switching projects around to see if trying something different would work better.

Trips on our weekends where fun and well planned by Faye who was amazing. She did everything from booking the stay and organizing travel we just had to pay her our share.

Everything from start to finish was excellent, they helped me with anything I needed. Including accommodated my disabilities and let me work at my own pace. I loved Ghana and would go back.

GVI Ghana has been absolutely incredible. The staff are so amazing at what they do and have an amazing balance between professional and friendly. It really feels like you are part of a family and the atmosphere on base makes you really feel at home. The work itself has been so rewarding. The students at the partner schools are all so bright and such a joy to teach. As an intern you have the freedom to create lesson plans alongside other inters, with the help of volunteers. This means you can really cater what you teach, to what the students need most at the time. It has been clear from the day I arrived that the team at GVI Ghana are having a long lasting positive impact on the community. Seeing how much respect locals have for GVI and hearing how much they appreciate having them around has been amazing. It really feels like you are doing something which will contribute to good in the long run. It is clear that GVI Ghana's aim is to not be needed in the future. They care so much about the sustainable long term change and you can see how much this is the root of their work. The base itself and the staff there are amazing. I felt so safe and at home for the duration of my stay and the staff really work to make such a welcoming environment. You also get so many opportunities to get involved in fun activities and see so much of the country, its culture and the amazing Ghanian people. All in all, I couldn't recommend GVI Ghana more!
