Best experience of my life

GVI Ghana was the start of my gap year after completing senior. It was so far from home and I was very nervous and scared when I first arrived. As soon as I met my fellow volunteers my fears quickly evaporated. The team were all so welcoming and we had so much fun on base. There’s always someone to have a chat and a laugh with. I went as an intern and worked across 6 schools. I was also in charge of my own projects including sexual reproductive health , girl guides, free being me & Rosies world. The experience was both rewarding & eye opening. The work GVI do in Kokrobrite is incredible and they’re very respected by the community. Ghanaians are such warm and welcoming people it’s impossible not to love being in their company. We also saw a lot a bit of the country on our time off. Beautiful & rich in culture & history.
I met people from all across the globe and have made friends for life. If you’re on the fence about volunteering with GVI Ghana my advice is to just jump in. You’ll love it!!
