An experience I would highly recommend for anyone with the time and opportunity to embark on such an incredible journey!
by: Simen StaveProgram: Short-Term Community Development Internship in GhanaI spent 8 weeks at the GVI base in Ghana through the Teaching and Education program.

An amazing experience
by: Nathanael BarkerProgram: Short-Term Community Development Internship in GhanaGvi Ghana Was Amazing, The Staff Were So Kind And Supportive. It Was Such An Amazing Experience. However, I Would Say The Website Does Not Necessarily Give The Whole Picture Of What You Will Be Doing As It Is A Little Misleading. In Terms Of Gvi Ghana It Is Almost Entirely Working With Children And So If You Don't Want To Do This I Wouldn't Recommend Going. However, If You Do Like I Did Then It Is An Amazing Experience And To Some Extent Wish I Stayed On For Longer. Also An Internship Didn't Fee...
The projects were deeply enriching.
by: Josephine GuillaudProgram: Short-Term Community Development Internship in GhanaI loved my experience with GVI Ghana. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, the base was well organised and comfortable, and the projects were deeply enriching. Working in partner schools taught me a lot about Ghanaian culture, and it was a privilege to share my own knowledge and experiences to develop lesson plans I felt passionate about. The weekend trips were also superb, and a great way to discover the country. I would definitely recommend my GVI experience.
