Amazing experience doing construction and renovation in Ghana

by: Ingrid Hjelle - NorwayProgram: Volunteer in Construction & Renovation in Ghana

Had the best time volunteering in Ghana! IVHQ has a great program in which I got to live close to the locals, work on a meaningful project in which I felt like I made a difference, and make a lot of new friends! By volunteering I got a unique insight into the culture in Ghana and since we had weekends if I also had time to explore the country. The team was helpful, project was great, and location was ideal. Over all a fantastic experience and I would recommend it a lot!

I must say that I have been to many place ( over 30 countries), but had never volunteered before. I did my research, read about different programs, and thought that IVHQ was the best fit. I was right! They were amazing, and very professional all of the way! I would for sure go on another trip with IVHQ, as I can say now, that they were the best!!
