“What areas did you like about our website? The way the different types of volunteering countries and different program options were listed. 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. Could just include a little part on specifics of culture but his info was provided to us when we got here. Staff at the main office was very helpful. Did you enjoy working at your project / placement? Very much so ! All the teachers and other members of the staff were very accommodating and nice to us. The children were very receptive and I thoroughly enjoyed the work. Accommodation and meals Great ! The host family was amazing and could not have done more for us. They made us feel very comfortable and at home. They were very kind to us and we felt like part of the family. What was the highlight of your volunteering experience and your trip? Teaching the children was such an exhilarating experience. Teaching a class of around 60 children with another 30 looking in from the window and all of them singing the song you have just taught them is something that can never be revealed. Would you recommend this program and our organization to others? yes/no Certainly. Everything about the project was fantastic. The organization is great because it sets you up with a local staff who you can contact if you need but otherwise they offer freedom.”

“What was your work in the project? I have taught in Ghana for two months at a school. And I worked mainly in a village and I taught the older students math and English. In the afternoon I was also at a girls school. Were you satisfied with the accommodation and food? Yes the house was beautiful. I lived in a house with other volunteers. It was not too far into the city but also not too far into the village. The food was fine. Have you got along well with the contact person on site? Yes very good beginning. He has always tried to make me what I wanted to do. What were the highlights of your stay? In any case to play football with the kids. I bought them with other volunteers together a new game and they were very pleased that the next day the whole village knew my name but also practice reading for me . My weekend trips to the Kintampo waterfalls were also very enjoyable. Would you recommend this project? Absolutely! It&#39 s a great experience no one should miss. In no other way you can learn about a foreign culture so well.”

“The website is very easy to understand and very clear layout. The Pre departure booklet was very helpful. I Love the program placement at hospital. I also liked being able to help out in other areas like school the village and the orphanage. The highlight of my trip was seeing a little 2 week old baby at the hospital open his eyes and move around after being unconscious the day before because Rose bought him and gave him medication as his family couldn&#39 t afford. It made me realize that once person can make a difference. The accommodation was great! I was not expecting to have my own room and fan so that was very nice. Rose always made very good meals. My coordinator was very helpful in answering questions before hand too. I will surely recommend Volunteering Solutions. I just wish I could stay longer and hope to come back soon.”
