Amazing experience

In 2018, when I finished university, I volunteered in Ghana for 3 months. I stayed at Theresah's house, and she was a good host: she took care of me, showed me around and introduced me to her friends. In her house, I was living with her young son, they prepared typical local food for me to eat and she always made sure I had everything I needed. I felt like one of the family.
About the volunteering, despite going to a children's orphanage, Theresah offered me the opportunity to accompany her to the hospital for a few days, which was an amazing experience.

On weekends, when I was travelling around the country on my own, she gave me contacts for taxi drivers and people I could trust, and every night she would ask me if everything was going well or if I needed anything. She was like a mother.

As for Ghana, it is one of the most established democracies in Africa, which makes the country quite safe. In addition, English as the official language makes everything easier. And you meet more American and European volunteers, which makes the experience enriching in all its facets.

I would recommend volunteering, I would recommend going to Ghanan and I would recommend meeting Theresah and her family.
