What Volunteers Are Saying

"‘’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 ‘"

"‘’The first thing that I noticed upon my arrival in Ghana was how friendly everyone was; they all made me feel very welcome. I have loved learning about Ghanaian culture, such as the food, language and music. Through teaching and counselling at local schools I was amazed at how eager they were to learn and I enjoyed interacting with them. It was also a really fulfilling feeling to be able to counsel young people and help them with their worries and problems. After work I was always able to relax in my room or at the beach. I also loved exploring more of Ghana, such as the Tafi monkey sanctuary, Wli Water Falls and Fort Prizenstein at Keta . The staff at VACI-Ghana is wonderfully hard-working and dedicated to improving their community. They are committed to making sure volunteers have a memorable and enjoyable experience. I look forward to continuing to work with VACI-Ghana and would recommend the experience to anyone. ‘’"
