Since I booked the flight I was looking forward to travel to Ghana. I was excited about the people, the country, and the culture … about everything. The time in Ghana was the most beautiful time in my life. I enjoyed every minute, both at the project and during traveling. I loved the fact that there was so much to see, experience and take in.

For my placement with Dream Africa Care Foundation, I worked in Accra, once at a school for poorer kids, The children and teachers were very nice and friendly. Every morning when I came to one project the kids run to me and hugged me. I will never forget them. I helped the teachers during the lessons, I teach the kids a bit in moths, we often played games or we sang songs. On Wednesdays and Thursdays. I occupied the kids with drawing, singing and so on. They also liked it when I made some pictures of them with my camera

I collected so many experiences and I don't know where I should begin to explain. And I don't think anyone can really fully understand they gain and experience of the country. The more I saw of how people live and although it's so different to Europe, the people were so happy and helpful to me.

In my free time I tried to see a lot from Ghana's country and culture. I travelled with Dream Africa Care Foundation in one week around Ghana. This trip was very great because I could see so many differences in the landscape. From white beaches to rainforests and waterfalls, I saw animals, like elephants and so many other things - it was really great. After my projects I often went to „coco beach“, because the sea is very close to the accommodation. I also spent some time on African markets and on evenings I went out with some friends.

Dream Africa Care Foundation is doing good work; it's a young organization but very good organized. In my first days I got a schedule and the staff always asked me if I'm happy with my room and so on. Every day I got African dishes and I really liked this food very much. DACF staff is very friendly and very helpful. They cared a lot for me.

When I arrived in Ghana, the people helped me that it's easy for me to orientate in the area. They have shown me a lot of useful places and teach me a bit in the local language called "Twi".

I would recommend to other volunteers to enjoy every single minute in Ghana and try traveling a lot. Try to help the people in the project, they will appreciate it.

I will never forget the time in Ghana. I wish I could stay longer but it was not possible because of my education. It was of course the right decision for me to do such thing. I learned a lot and I'm sure that I'll repeat on day such thing.
