Ghana ❤

My time in Ghana has come to an end and two weeks seemed like such a long time at first but it has flown by and I honestly don't know where the 2 weeks have gone. I wish I could stay for longer. My time in Ghana has been life changing, so inspirational and also educational as well. Seeing the cutrul differences and the lifestyle is never what I imagined. You always have expectations of things but my time in Ghana has changed those expectations completely. The pmgy team are incredible, so friendly, caring and always, always there for you when you need them. I couldn't of felt more welcome if they tried. Before coming to Ghana I felt a little worried for my safety as you hear stories about some countries in Africa not being safe, I have not felt un safe at all during my time in Ghana, the majority of people are very welcoming and kind and friendly. For my placement I done the orphanage programme and I wouldn't have changed that for a second. My time I spent with the children will stay with me forever, to just see their smiles on their faces made my heart melt and I couldn't of asked for anything more. Helping the children and just making them smile for a few seconds makes a whole difference and you don't realise that until you have done that and been here. Knowing the children at the orphanage don't have parents and that is most of their lives now just being there is so upsetting but to know you can still make them smiles makes it all worth it. I also went to the school which I loved also. The children are always so welcoming and so excited to see us. I had so much fun with them. I would completely tell anyone who is thinking of doing something like this to definitely do it and don't hesistate! I would recommend pmgy to anyone who wants to do volunteer work 100%! Thank you for having me, I wouldn't of wanted to spend it any other way or with any different people. Also the other volunteers have been great, friendly and we have all got on so well and it completely feels like another family. Even when we're not at project we're still always having fun! I will always remember my time here in Ghana and most definitely come back! ❤
