Honest , Trustworthy , Life Changing, AMAZING Program!!!!

Firstly I would like to say how HONEST & TRUSTWORTHY all staff within IVHQ Ghana are. Getting to know them while volunteering and staying in contact with them after has been an absolute pleasure they have hearts of gold and would do anything for anyone especially their extremely appreciated volunteers. Please know that they would never take money for themselves or be untrustworthy in anyway. I have and always will have complete trust and faith in them. The world needs more people like them!!! .

Where can I begin to explain the life experience that completely changed my life. This was something that i had been wanting to do for a long time and this year I decided to go ahead with my plans. I did a lot of research on lots of organisations and finally decided to go with IVHQ and this was an excellent choice. Not only was it very affordable compared to all the other organisations they are very professional and reliable.

When planning my trip they were very helpful as i had a million questions and so did my worried Mother! Arriving in Ghana is very daunting at first but there is clearly marked IVHQ friendly staff welcoming you. At the Volunteer house your first night you are made to feel welcome and anything you are unsure or worried about they will do anything they can to help you. THEN the day you have been so excited about going to your placement myself and my brother choose to do orphanage work. We where placed in West African children's Foundation (sliver program). We stayed in a families house who also runs the orphanage who made us feel at home. Remember guys you are in AFRICA i think some people forget that and look for there 5 start treatment.

When we first meet the kids it was one the the greatest moments of my life , opening the gates and they all just came running , arms open , screaming for joy. Seeing those beautiful smiles and all the love they have to give is so priceless. Honestly the first few days were hard i guess being jetlagged and an experience that you have never had before and major eye opener. Our daily duties were to wake the kids up and bath them , clean teeth , get dressed and serve breakfast. Lunch time we would serve them also , in the afternoon was my favourite was time to just play with the kids and get lots of cuddles!!! IVHQ were great they would come often and see how we were going and if anything was bothering us , if anything was it was always just a phone call away.

We were there for 3 weeks and i cannot even being to tell you how amazingly , life changing , challenging , fulfilling , hardest best thing I have ever done in my life. The love those children have and the size of their hearts is incredible. They have made me want to be a better person and have made me look at life very different.

If you are even thinking about it stop thinking and just DO IT !! Sign up with IVHQ and i promise you wont be disappointed . It is everything you could imagine plus 100 times more ! I never once felt unsafe in Ghana you just have to use common sense like anywhere in the world. You have to be wanting to do this for all the right reason at the end of the day if you go in with love and an open mind that is what is going to make your volunteering experience.

I dont know what they would do Without volunteers , you will be helping more than you will ever know. When first looking into volunteering its hard to figure out who to plan your trip with , who isnt a scam , knowing where your money is really going . Well look no further IVHQ is very reliable , honest & your best choice !!!! ENJOY!!!!
