Volunteering with IVHQ on the Teaching Project in Ghana

In March I participated with IVHQ in the teaching project in Ghana. Everything about my experience there was great! The IVHQ staff that helped me prepare before my journey was very helpful and answered all my questions quickly. The IVHQ staff on the program itself was very kind, always there to help with anything and made us feel safe and well taken care of the whole time. They helped to plan and organize our weekend trips, prepared the best food for us and answered all the questions we had. The accommodation had everything we needed and immediately felt like home. The project itself was great! I spent most of my time in third grade teaching mostly maths and science and taking the kids through the exams they had the second week I was there. During their one week break I got to tutor some of the kids that came to school in their free time, which was really rewarding and lots of fun. The teachers and students are all very kind and they seem very grateful for everything all the volunteers do for them. They made my experience even more special! The three weeks I spent in Ghana definitely went by to fast and I can't wait to go back and experience more of this beautiful country! If you are still unsure whether you want to go or not, I can highly recommend going! It will definitely be a trip of a lifetime.
