International Youth Work Camp - Teaching Volunteer

I'm a current volunteer actually located in Agona Swedru. I live in a lovely host family and teach at a private school (GLOVO Academy). I really enjoy every day at school and in this country.
The organisation (IGI) supports its volunteers in everything and cares a lot for them. It also has a volunteer house in Agona Swedru, where visitors or relatives of the volunteers can stay very comfortable.
IGI also organises a one week work camp, where the volunteers will work in a community, on a cocoa farm and give some advices about healthcare.
I really feel very welcomed and well looked after from my host family and the organisation.

A couple of years ago I went to Ghana with the organisation "Inspire Global Ideas". It was a wonderful experience. I stayed with a host family close to the project. They made me feel at home right when I got there and were so nice to me.
"Inspire Global Ideas" (IGI) does a lot to help the communities in Ghana. It was great to be a part of the organisation. I worked in a school as a teacher and I volunteered in communities.
Working in the school and teaching the kids was a life-changing experience. The kids were so nice to me and we had so much fun every day. I also learned a lot from them. My experience in Ghana made me a different person. People in Ghana don't have as much as we have in Europe, but they are the most hospitable people I ever met. Even when life gets tough, they keep fighting and keep a smile on their face no matter what. I learned to appreciate the small things in life and to be grateful for what I have.
I recommend this program to anyone who want to volunteer in Africa.
