Ghana- Plan my gap year

What can I say about Ghana and my experience over there?... I came back a week ago and my head is still there, I can’t stop thinking about it and I am constantly sharing my trip with all my friends and family!
My experience was beyond amazing and the reason why is the people. No matter where you are, home, placement or in the street… everybody is extremely friendly, welcoming and they transmit a wonderful happiness.
Specially, I would like to emphasise how great the people is at home; Seth, Sophia, Iowa, Kobbenah, Kofi, Rex, Roland… They are all so helpful but also extremely fun and that is something that I love about the Ghanaian culture… how much they like to joke, laugh, dance… they really know how to love life.
Likewise, the house it’s a great place to stay, it made my whole stay so homey and cosy. I also liked to share it with all the other volunteers, living with your friends and sharing your everyday experiences with them makes the whole trip even more memorable. Moreover, I loved the area in which the house is located as you can find absolutely everything right beside it, food, taxis and even a bar where we liked to go to have a drink and dance with all the kids and people from the area.

Furthermore, I went Ghana to volunteer in the school although I also wanted to go to the orphanage and this was not a problem at all and I was able to compliment both. In the school I had the opportunity to teach a whole class by myself and it is the most rewarding experience. The kids are really willing to learn, no matter what you teach them, they are full of curiosity and passion to pick up new things. I felt that I was really able to make a little impact as you are able to open their minds by teaching things that are new and different for them. The staff in the school as well… they were so grateful to have volunteers around.
Finally, the kids at the orphanage are full of love. it is amazing to spend time with them and get to know them as they will teach you a life lesson.

I am so thankful to have met every single person, to have given a little bit and have received soooo much more from all of them.
If someone is thinking about volunteering, don’t even think about it, do it and it will be the most fulfilling experience of your lives.
See you soon Ghana, me pe wo
