Highly recommend!
by: Liv WattsProgram: Projects Abroad in GhanaThe time I spent with Projects Abroad was one of the best experiences of my life. I learned so much, gained so much experience in the field of human rights, met the most amazing people and was lucky to see the beauty of Ghana. I cannot recommend this experience enough, it helped me grow as a person and in my career, thank you Projects Abroad for making it so memorable.
Best occupational therapy volunteer experience!
by: Megan Pappan - United StatesProgram: Projects Abroad in GhanaI traveled with Projects Abroad to Accra, Ghana for the Projects for Professions as a licensed occupational therapist. From the transportation at the airport, to a day tour and orientation, home stay accommodations, cultural activities, and my volunteer placements, my experience gave me skills I utilize in my profession that I could not obtain anywhere else. I felt safe, comfortable, and always had support from staff. The other volunteers turned into family, and I still keep in touch with some t...

I had a semester off before starting university and I wanted to do something worthwhile with my time. I had never left the country before. I knew I wanted to teach abroad, so I researched volunteer programs where I could teach in some form.
