Review

I've been here for only a week but for the moment I'm having a great time. Everyone welcomed me with open arms. Richard and Franklin took me around Accra and showed me where I was going to work. The Language and Culture course is very helpful and I learned a lot in only a few days. I recommend volunteers to do the Language and Culture program as it will help you fit in.
Although as a volunteer, it is important to bear into mind that the actual impact you make is very small, I feel like it is still worth it. Being able to put a smile on those kid’s faces is so rewarding!
Richard took me and another volunteer to Krokrobite beach where we all had a great time.
We also visited Accra (Accra is much more exciting than what Guide books say) as well as a pineapple farm (pineapple trees are not what I expected them to be).

Would you recommend this program?
Yes, I would
