Easy to use and informative.

How did you find the pre departure booklet given to you and the service of the staff in regards to answering your questions and helping you prepare?
Very Helpful. Info regarding Ghana was very helpful.

Did you enjoy working at your project / placement?
Yes. The staff at Zingwangwa Primary School was wonderful. They are so friendly and accommodating and nothing was ever a problem. For some people the class size can be a bit daunting.

Accommodation and meals
Perfect ! Wonderful host mother and family. Would recommend anyone to stay here. We have no complaints whatsoever. Very good location. Right next to the school in which we worked.

What was the highlight of your volunteering experience and your trip?
Living with a host family ensures a true authentic Ghanaian experience. Also the independence that we had. Nobody from the organization was chasing us and making rules. The energy of the children we taught was infectious and I wont ever forget it.

Would you recommend this program and our organization to others? yes/no
YES!
