Please Write about R. V. O – Ghana and staff
The R.V.O Ghana staffs are very hard working, caring and always there to assist volunteers. They are wonderful.
Please write about your Host Family
My host families were most welcoming and informative.
Please kindly write your overall experience in Ghana below:
The two weeks just wasn't enough. I have not settled and achromatized but very sad to go home soon.
The most wonderful two weeks l have ever spent travelling with a firm conclusion that I will definitely be back soon.
I spent a lot of time at the Westphalia children's Village with over 70 orphans. Daily duties including, getting children ready for school, sports and library.. I also got to teach the children English, Maths and Sanitation.
In the very short time, l learned the Ghanaian lifestyle and got a real taste of the African culture. Adventures n Kumasi and Cape Coast topped the trip of Historical. I visited the Ashanti Chief palace, Elmina castile etc with the help of Richmond.
This journey to Ghana has given me a whole new perspective on life and l look forward to returning again, and working with Richmond and staff members. Yours,
Maura Lyons Cruvary, Clona Kitty, Co Cork, Ireland
Why do you think other people should VOLUNTEER IN GHANA THROUGH RVO-GHANA?
Their fees are very affordable as compared to other volunteer organization. Very reliable too.
ANY ADVICE FOR FUTURE VOLUNTEERS?
I think its time people travel from home and learn new things.
