Ghana is Life

My name is Marisol I am 24 years of age. I recently embarked on a Volunteer trip to Ghana, Africa. There, I helped with the Childcare program. I was placed at a orphanage called Potters Village. There is currently 150 kids there , ages 9months through 23 years of age. Even though I was only there for one week I fell in love with each and every one of the kids. They are full of joy and innocence. I was able to teach them some math during my stay and I was given the freedom to help with anything I wanted. Education is very important and I feel like we need volunteers who are willing to teach the kids. Kids are super smart and ready to learn. The people at the orphanage and Ghana in general are the sweetest people I have ever met. Everyone including the kids are always ready to help and make you feel at home. Ghana is super safe and I had no bad experience . IVHQ did a wonderful job on guiding me through the city of Accra and were great host. Africa is a beautiful place and I truly recommend it to anyone espcieally students so they can see the difference of lifestyles and couples who would be willing to adop a child. I definitely plan on going back as soon as possible.
