What was your typical morning like?
Kelsey: My typical morning as an OG volunteer in Ghana involved a few of the participants walking into town to get breakfast.
Eggs and bread was always a popular choice. Usually we would eat as a group and discuss that day's goals and activities.
How did you spend your afternoons?
Kelsey: The afternoons in Ghana usually consisted of being outside. Every day was different. Some days we would be in town with the locals. Some days we would do group activities.
The participants almost always had some free time. When we were in Sandema, afternoons were often spent with the girls leadership camp or the boys orphanage. We also spent time learning about the different volunteer opportunities and organizations within Ghana.
Describe a typical evening.
Kelsey: Evenings involved making dinner or going into town to get dinner. We would sometimes have debriefs about that day. Most nights in Ghana were pretty relaxed, which was nice.
Tell me about the highlights of your trip.
Kelsey: The highlight of my trip was ITT (Independent Travel Time). Two of my friends and I went to Mole National Park, and got to see elephants, which was amazing!
Another highlight was being able to stay in a variety of places within Ghana. This allowed our group to form great relationships with the people of Ghana and truly learn about their culture.
