Orphanage Volunteer in Cape Coast, Ghana.
Hello. An article was put in my local paper in reagrds to my experiences
in Ghana and I have had a few people enquiring about Cosmic so have
given the website and phone number, I hope something comes of there
interest as I had a fabulous experience.
The Pretrip Guide
Yes it was very helpful. I researched the Lonely Planet guides and
alike as well and found these to be an invaluable resource.
Program Duties the same as on website?
Yes.
Local Coordinator
Yes, he was very helpful. I couldn't fault him in any way, he was
always there for me if I had any questions or needed explanations
of local situations.
Host Family
My host family treated me with so much warmth and friendliness.
I found the host family aspect of the experience to be fantastic
particularly because I got to sample the local foods which I helped
cook.
Sightseeing
One weekend I travelled with a fellow volunteer to Akosombo and
the Lake Volta region. Another weekend I went to two local Castles
where the slave trade had once taken place, they were both very
interesting.

"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."

"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...
