Ghana 2016

Hi everybody!
Since I was young I wanted to volunteer abroad but I wasn’t sure about the destination. Finally I decided to go to Ghana, and it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made in my entire life.
I spent three weeks doing the orphanage placement and it was UNBELIEVABLE!
I was afraid at first because I didn’t know what to expect. However once I got there I realized that the people working in the volunteer house try to make you feel always at home. They embrace you from minute one.
That's why I fell in love with their personality and culture. Besides, being far away from your friends and family gives you the chance to learn more about yourself and reminds you what you are made of.
I believe that even though sometimes at the orphanage it was tough, it was one of the most rewarding challenges I’ve ever faced before. I promptly realized that our group of volunteers was making a big difference to their lives and our company was a treasure for them.
Personally, I feel so grateful because I had the opportunity to learn a lot from them. I think that their enthusiasm and how they enjoy their time with simple things has helped me to appreciate the little things more. They gave me a life lesson.
I recommend this experience to anyone who wants to live an unforgettable adventure and get to know how helping others can enrich you emotionally and personally.
