Orphanage Volunteer in Accra, Ghana.
Just a quick email to say I'm having a great time here in Ghana.
The host family are just wonderful! I didn't actually think it was
possible to PUT ON weight in Africa, but there you go, you learn
something new every day.
The heat is still taking some getting used to and I seem to be
taking regular naps after working in the orphanage. I have met another
Cosmic Volunteer there, young Anna from the States. I've made some
really great friends and am 'embracing' the Ghanaian way (e.g I
can now eat very well just using my hands!).
My Coordinator Mr. Donkah has been an excellent guide, taking time
off to show me the sights and the ways of Ghana. Definitely eased
me into this Ghanaian way of life! Thank you!
Thanks for accepting me on this programme.

"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...
