"This trip [to Ghana] changed my life. I realized that there’s a big world out there and I want to get to see more of it. I really appreciate things a lot more now. It was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made." More...

"My month in Cuenca, Ecuador was irreplaceable. The shelter, Casa de Maria Amor, opened my eyes to what these women go through daily, and how strong in personality they have become." More...
-- Danielle (British Columbia)

"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." More...
-- Laurence (Philadelphia)
