    "‘’My time in Ghana was indescribable. It was the most unique and incredibly rewarding experience. VACI-Ghana allows you to see and live the wonderful African culture up close, something you wouldn’t necessarily get elsewhere. I will never forget my time in Ghana ‘"

    "“It sounds very cliché to say that volunteering abroad was a life changing experience, however for me this is 100% true. The experience I had with VACI was wonderful, and so rewarding that I want to do it again! Thanks to the support and encouragement I had while volunteering here, I have now accepted a 3 month placement in Sri Lanka. I would never have done this without VACI. ”"
