Testimonials from Our Volunteers Overseas

Rebecca (USA)
TV Journalism Intern in Ghana
"My trip to Ghana was the quintessential adventure I was looking for before graduating from college. The people were the most genuine and accepting individuals with whom I've ever had the pleasure of getting to know. I truly feel touched and the experience gave me a new outlook on life. Adjusting to the living conditions of a third-world country forced me to step outside of my comfort zone, a lesson more valuable than that of any classroom or textbook. Having had this experience I am ready to travel the rest of the world and feel like I am prepared for whatever may come my way."
