Ghana

Since a young age, something I've always wanted to do has been orphanage work! I was always that one person in a group who was into doing stuff like that and this year I decided to look into it. I was lucky enough to stumble across a charity group called IVHQ. They are a group, located in New Zealand who help in under privileged areas by sending out hundreds of volunteers each year. I decided I would apply to help in a children's orphanage near Accra, Ghana. I waited anxiously for an e-mail to arrive and after two days I received a reply. I had been accepted for a six week volunteer programme to work with children between the ages of three and sixteen. I am so happy that I've decided to do this and IVHQ have been great with helping me prepare for the trip and it is honestly one of the best decisions I could have ever made! If you are looking to volunteer overseas I would really recommend checking out IVHQ! They are brilliant! I cannot wait to go and start in the orphanage. As I've said before its good to say yes for a change!
