The two-week special volunteers spend their last day at the school with the sweet taste of success on their lips.

The volunteers arrived to find a bare, boring, empty shell of a building that nobody would want to learn in and after two-weeks of hard work they leave behind a beautifully painted school ready to teach and nurture Ghana’s youth to greatness and beyond.
Projects Abroad country director, Tom Davis, stated, ‘the volunteers have done a great job in their time here in Ghana. Their hard work will ensure that more children want to come and learn here’. Three of the volunteers that will be leaving this week, Mora Rejali, Malissa Trotti and Ciara Frank from England, commented positively on their time in Ghana. They said, ‘It was a lot of fun and the time went incredibly fast. When we first arrived it was a shock and we had no idea what we were doing here but after spending a bit more time and experiencing Ghanaian culture we feel very sad to be leaving so soon!’ They also stated that the best thing that they did while here is Ghana was taking care of the children and leaving them with a great place to learn and develop.
Tom Davis explained, ‘projects abroad have several different buildings around Ghana that volunteers come and paint and help to look after the children. The special two-week volunteers come with the specific task of completing one project and experiencing Ghanaian culture. The project costs around 2000 GH cedis and is a really good thing for the community.’ Looking at the results of their short stay they have had a major impact; the walls look smooth and brightly coloured in shades of green and blue. A major thank you has to go out to all the two-week special project abroad volunteers for all their fantastic work for the benefit of Ghana.
