Program Reviews

I came for a month to teach Math in a local school in Ghana and received amazing support from the Atlas volunteer organization. First few days I was guided by one of the organization workers on the local culture and visited important sites in Accra. Great way to settle in this new country.

Later I travelled to the rural area where I met the teachers in the school I volunteered. Everyone was super nice through all the experience and I had a place to bring my unique ideas. I feel a strong connection to the people of Kwahu and hope to visit there soon.

In general, This experience was above my wildest expectations and I could write much more about it but I'll just say that you won't regret. For sure.

In March 2019 I very nervously arrived in Ghana after travelling abroad, Ghana was my next big adventure and little did I know the true impact it would have on me. The amount of support I received from day one was outstanding! I never once felt alone or scared and I always knew Atlas was there to help! The volunteers at the home were so welcoming and became not only housemates to me but family. I've made life long friends and memories that will never be replaced and most of all though the school experiences were life changing! I was always welcomed with open arms within the community and local schools The kids are amazingly fun, kind, playful, eager to learn and have so much potential, its such a rewarding experience every single day! The locals are super friendly and kind and always there to point you in the right direction or help you out and you'll easily make a friend or two! I LOVED my time in Ghana and it honestly broke my heart to leave. Of all my travel experiences Ghana has got to be my favourite, so much so that i'll soon be returning for a second time! I would recommend this trip to everyone, Atlas was outstanding!

I spent one month in Ghana with Atlas Volunteers and joined the renovation and painting team. The project was well organized and there was always someone helping and supporting us. The houses we stayed in were very comfortable and the garden with the great view was fantastic. The locals and all the members from the group were friendly and very helpful. I always felt safe and comfortable. To sum up my time in Ghana was a great experience. I learnt a lot about the culture and the Ghanaian way of living.

I spent 3 months in Ghana with Atlas, it was amazing, local people are very friendly, the kids in each village are so likable and funny. All the area is very safe and the support from the organization is perfect, you can always rely on them if you have any request. Ghana is beautiful and the culture is more than interesting. I was working with the building and renovation team, our projects were very appreciated from local people and we volunteers learnt a lot from these works. I sincerely recommend this placement!
