Response from United Planet
Madeline, thank you for your feedback! It's great to hear that you enjoyed your time in Ghana. You hit the nail on the head when you mentioned the suggestion to be proactive throughout the course of your program - this is a helpful recommendation for volunteers and something that is necessary when volunteering in a work environment that we may not be used to. Thanks so much for your service and we would love for you to stay involved with United Planet!
