Feels like home

Atlas Volunteers are very helpful and supportive as soon as you step in the country. From the start, you’re shown places where to get certain items you’re looking for, what to do in an emergency, best places to have a drink/eat, and a lot more helpful ideas. I stayed in Pepease for 3 1/2 months and am going back very soon. The town people are very lovely. I worked in two schools in the area and had the best experience. You can choose whether to help in the class by tutoring or you can teach your own class! All the kids are AMAZING and SO SMART. Weekends are crazy!! You’re free to do whatever you want so take advantage of that. Every weekend I went somewhere new. A must see is boti falls, definitely the spot if you love nature. Also, before you leave you must take a trotro( public transportation) and try out the unique foods they offer! ATLAS is the best volunteer group in Ghana.
