Frankadua - Ghana is a village I will remember forever.
The people there is so happy and grateful for everything.
I got the opportunity to teach a new sport, floorball, in the village and see all the kids develop their skills.
So grateful for all the help from the local staff and the help before, under and after from IVHQ.
To get to know all the other volunteers was something I didn’t think to much about before, but it was such a big part of why the trip was so much fun.
The people in Frankadua continue to play floorball and to be the one to teach them really means so much for me. But it wouldn’t be possible without the crew from IVHQ.

The headquarters and local team were so supportive. I felt like I had someone to talk to if I had issues or questions. The meals and accommodation were great and the people were so friendly and kind. I was very happy with my volunteer placement and the people I met will stay in my heart forever. I worked with wonderful volunteers. The IVHQ team was very responsive and helpful for all my needs and questions. It was my favorite volunteer trip so far. My only fear is I'm not sure how my next trip could top this one.

If you want to go on a trip that will transform your life for the better, enhance your understanding of the world, help people in need and make unbreakable connections, then IVHQ Ghana is the trip for you!
The team there treat you like family. They cook with love, tell you about the best sites to see, share aspects of their culture to you with detail, help you get the best price for whatever you need and so much more. Also the team prior to departure provide you with all the support you need. I needed to arrive early due to flight scheduling and they made that happen in such a stress free way. My recent trip with IVHQ was my second! I can’t wait for third trip and the many more after that!

I had the incredible opportunity to volunteer with IVHQ in Ghana, specifically in the field of construction and renovations. From the moment I set foot in the vibrant community, I knew this experience would be transformative, both for the local community and for myself.

The project was well-organized and had a clear objective: to improve the infrastructure and living conditions in the area. The IVHQ team in Ghana provided thorough training and guidance, ensuring that volunteers like myself could contribute effectively to the construction and renovation projects.

One of the highlights of my volunteering experience was the chance to work alongside people and community members. The camaraderie and shared sense of purpose created a positive and uplifting atmosphere on the construction site. It was inspiring to witness the dedication and resilience of the local community, and I formed lasting connections with both fellow volunteers and the people we were helping.

The projects themselves were diverse, ranging from painting, to concreting, to brick making and laying. This allowed me to gain valuable hands-on experience and develop a wide range of skills. The satisfaction of seeing tangible results at the end of each day was immeasurable, and it reinforced the impact that collective efforts can have on a community.

IVHQ's commitment to sustainable and responsible volunteering was evident throughout the program. The projects were carefully chosen to address genuine needs within the community, and the emphasis on collaboration ensured that the initiatives had a lasting impact. Additionally, the cultural immersion activities organized by IVHQ allowed volunteers to better understand the local context, fostering a deeper connection with the people we were there to support.

Accommodations and logistics were well taken care of, ensuring a comfortable and safe environment for volunteers. The local staff was incredibly supportive and played a crucial role in making the experience memorable. Their dedication to the well-being of both volunteers and the community showcased IVHQ's commitment to responsible and ethical volunteering practices.

Volunteering in Ghana with IVHQ was a transformative journey that left a profound impact on my life. The experience was truly extraordinary, offering a rich tapestry of cultural immersion, meaningful contributions to local communities, and personal growth.

Ghana's vibrant culture, characterized by its music, dance, and colorful festivals, immediately captivated me. I was welcomed with open arms by the warm and friendly people, who radiated an infectious sense of community and unity. Their resilience and positivity in the face of challenges were truly inspiring, and I learned valuable life lessons from their strength.

My time volunteering in local schools was a highlight of my journey. It was a privilege to work with bright and eager students, sharing knowledge and forming genuine connections. Witnessing the impact of education in shaping their dreams and futures was profoundly rewarding. The appreciation and smiles on their faces were priceless.

Participating in community projects, such as supporting healthcare initiatives and environmental conservation, allowed me to make tangible contributions to the betterment of Ghanaian communities. Working hand in hand with local volunteers and IVHQ's dedicated team, we made a positive impact, leaving lasting improvements.

Living in Ghana, I embraced the simplicity of life, a stark contrast to the fast-paced world I came from. The sense of community, where people genuinely cared for one another, was a beautiful reminder of what truly matters. The daily interactions, sharing stories, and immersing myself in local customs deepened my cultural understanding and broadened my perspective.

While I went to Ghana to give, I received far more in return. This journey was a true test of my adaptability and resilience, as I faced challenges and witnessed the realities of life in a developing nation. It encouraged personal growth, teaching me to appreciate the value of empathy and compassion.

IVHQ's support and organization were instrumental in making this experience exceptional. They ensured our safety, provided guidance, and facilitated opportunities for cultural engagement. The diverse group of volunteers I met from all over the world added a global perspective to my journey, fostering lifelong friendships.

As my time in Ghana drew to a close, I realized that the true essence of volunteering lies in the connections formed, the lives touched, and the knowledge gained. It was not merely a temporary commitment; it was a life-changing experience that ignited a passion for continued service and a deeper appreciation for the world's diversity.

I left Ghana with a heart full of gratitude, unforgettable memories, and a commitment to making a difference wherever I go. This journey was a testament to the power of volunteering, the resilience of the human spirit, and the beauty of unity in diversity. It was an experience I will forever cherish and carry with me on my path of personal and global growth.

I went to Ghana for 3weeks with IVHQ. It was honestly the best thing ever. When I arrived someone from the company picked us up and took us to the volunteering house. All the staff were so welcoming and friendly which made the experience 100 times better. I am planning to travel again next year with IVHQ. I have not only made a difference to someone life I have also improved my self confidence. The food was also very good. Staff were adapting to everyone likes and dislikes, so if you didn’t want a certain food she wouldn’t make it.

I would 100% recommend IVHQ to anyone looking to have a completely unique and authentic volunteering experience. With so many options of countries and activities, there really is an opportunity for everyone. From the moment I signed up (for a 3 week volunteering in Ghana programme) I had support from IVHQ staff who were willing to help with any questions or worries I had. The preparation checklist and activities ensured I felt confident and ready before takeoff. As soon as I arrived in the country, I was picked up from the airport by IVHQ staff, who offer 24/7 support to volunteers. The staff in Ghana were amazing, and helped us with any queries we had. From food to accommodation to weekend activities (which the staff also help you organise) you are totally immersed in the local culture. There is honestly nothing bad about IVHQ, and I will definitely be looking to volunteer with them again in the future.

This was a really unique experience. I am so happy I choose to participate in this program. Everything was very well organised from airport pick up to the drop off again. Working in the program is something I will never forget the things we did and impact we made will always stay with me. Next to that all our weekend trips were organised very well by the staff. The staff was always there for us and checking up on us. The ambiance of this program and the work we got to do made it an amazing time.
