"I also want to give a huge thanks to everyone
at Cosmic Volunteers. It couldn’t have been possible (obviously)
without your help. And to Scott, thank you also, for taking my phone
calls even when I was stressing. :]. So all in all, it was absolutely
wonderful. It meant so much to me and I truly will never forget
my time in Ghana. And actually, I’m hoping to be returning
to you all next summer with my sister! More...

HIV/AIDS work in Accra, Ghana.
Ghana has been treating me very well so far. My host family is
wonderful. I couldn't have asked for a better living situation.
They really care about my happiness, the house is clean and safe
and I am fed well!
The volunteer work has been good as well, if at times slow. I have
been at the HIV/AIDS facility for the last week and a half and will
start in a fosterhome/school just outside of Accra next week. It's
about an hour from my house by trotro.
I am planning a trip to Cape Coast with some other volunteers
I've met in Accra. I was surprised to see so many obrunis! It's
been nice to make some friends in the same situation I am in.
Accra is like another world; so far this has definitely been an
unforgettable experience. I am glad my first trip to Africa was
to Ghana. I feel very safe here. Everyone is incredibly friendly
and welcoming. Besides the heat, I have no complaints!
I am loving my trip and am very thankful to you and your organization
for setting this all up. You're doing a great thing! Talking with
some other volunteers makes me especially grateful - some have had
not so great experiences with their organizations. I am very lucky
:)

"...And that is the best thing about being a volunteer.
Having the ABSOLUTE privilege of meeting and featuring in the
lives of kids who are soldiers with huge hearts, big smiles and
endless love. [Vietnam] has been an experience and an honour that
I will never forget." More...
-- Christie (UK)
"All in all, this has already been an incredible experience
for me, getting to experience life in a different country while
doing something I love and am passionate about [basketball coaching].
So I can't thank you and your organization enough."
-- Bryan (Oregon)
"[My daughter Dalia] loved Ecuador and the people, saw a
lot of sites, managed to make friends and connections there and
above all she really loved working with the kids at the orphanage
and said they were very sweet and loving. I think it was a great
experience for her in terms of helping her develop independence
and self-confidence and turning her on to other cultures and travel."
