Purple Program - Ghana

Villagers and locals were friendly and welcoming. All the staff at the house were really nice. Credit to Benedict, Joe, Michael ( security guard) Millie & Rita ( cooks) & Evans who all tried their best to make sure everyone was comfortable as possible. Lovely people.

On arrival it would be nice to have a quick run down/ tour of the volunteer house by either Joe/ Evans to make sure new volunteers are settled/ aware of what is expected during the program and of the rules/ running of the house.

Future new volunteers please bring as much medical supplies such as gloves bandages, antiseptic cream, gauze etc because it runs out quickly. Lots of Hand gel and even hand soap for washing of your hands is useful to bring as well. Extra money is needed because day trips are not included in the program fees paid. In regards to donations, bring as much as you can because sending things to Ghana if you live very far away is a bit tricky and gets expensive so try to bring as much as you can. You may feel a bit nervous going to the program alone for the first ever time but honestly you will be well taken care of and looked after by all the people involved in the program. Stay safe and have a lovely time!

Overall, it was an invaluable experience and I am looking forward to coming back to Frankadua in a few years time.
