Making a positive impact and lasting memories

I have volunteered with IVHQ once before and I really enjoyed everything about it, so I decided to volunteer with them again. I was very thankful for the quick and helpful response I got for every question I asked my IVHQ Program Manager! Everyone was amazing, kind and always there to help with anything we needed! I never once felt like I couldn't ask for anything! I absolutely loved the food the two cooks prepared for us! Being a vegetarian, I wasn't sure whether that would be a problem but the...

One of the most memorable trips of my life

I definitely recommend anyone thinking of giving this programme a shot, to just go for it!

During my stay, the students had already completed their exams for the year so there was not too much ...

Everything about my stay in Ghana was amazing! Evans was the most amazing and professional coordinator ever. He was very helpful in helping me adjust to the culture and made sure I was comfortable at my placement in Frankadua. I had such a great time getting to know the children they are all so very sweet and loving. I love Ghana and I thank Evans and all of the staff there for helping make me comfortable as a volunteer.
