One of the best experiences I have ever had.

My experience to Ghana was one of the best that I have ever experienced which is quite a lot considering I have travelled many places. When I arrived it was all a bit scary since you are in a new country aswell as in a whole different community but that changed right away after i got to know the people that i was going to be living and interacting with. Personally I could have not asked for better people. Both Christa and Natasha (the project leaders) were amazing both as friends and as your supporters. The community of Maranatha was even better, the children in the school, the teachers and all the people at Maranatha Beach camp made my stay and incredible one.
Im a blonde girl with white skin in a whole different community but I couldn't have felt better with my appearance. Everyone just excepted you for what you look like and that to a certain extent came as a surprise to me. However even though people look you, you are immediately welcomed into their home. People want to know where you are from, touch your skin and hair and wave, the warm welcoming was one of the main aspects that Im thinking of going again. The school is also amazing even though you encounter hard days and better days you will always remember the children who are both wonderful and encouraging to help you with your ideal goals for the project. Overall I would recommend Ghana since it really changed my view on life.
