Review

During my two weeks in Ghana I had the most eye opening time, experiencing the the everyday way of life and overall culture of Ghana.
The Pmgy house is very nice and has a good atmosphere with all the volunteers inside. Seth the host is great, very nice guy and more than helpful if you have a problem.
My time at the placements was definitely the best part about the trip. Mostly working in the orphanage I got to know the children and would have fun playing with them and helping with their homework after school. At times it could be quite upsetting due to part of the Ghanaian culture with how they treat children. But on the whole working in the orphanage was very rewarding and made me realise how privileged I was.
My view of Ghana is that it is a very warm and happy country with the people being very excited that we go over to help. There was never any problems regarding my safety and I would recommend anyone to go and experience working in Ghana to give another out look on life.

Would you recommend this program?
