I had 6 amazing months living in Cape Coast. The work with the children was a pleasure for me! My tasks were to help them with their homework’s, playing with them after school, washing their clothes, feeding the smaller ones and a lot more..! In my free time i did a lot of activities with other volunteers and the leaders of the organization. We went to Kakum NP, the Castle, Elmina and other nice places. It was a great experience, which all of you guys should make as well!

To be a Volunteer with „Volunteer with Ghana“ was one of the best experiences I‘ve made. I have loved it to be in the orphanage, to spend time with the kids and surround them with love. Trough „Volunteer with Ghana“ I was able to get to know the local Culture and they showed me a lot of beautiful places and things in Ghana. I will never forget the time I‘ve spend with them and can recommend it to everyone.

My time in Ghana was short but great. Iam thankful for all the experiences I made. I learned a lot about the new culture and the people in this great country. My work in the school was always exciting. Every day you learn something new. Every day the kids are happy to see you. You really get to know the differences between Germany and Ghana. The organization will make sure you get to know everything you need to know. Coming to Ghana gave me more than experiences. You make a lot of friends for life here. Come and experience it yourself! You will be glad you did.

It was very nice journey because of the safety and excellent people As a volunteer working under MACERUDET, I developed a passion and awareness for helping my fellow Africans, especially those with Difficult lives in Uganda where health and education have been severe problems related to the country’s GDP. Also, i managed to link MACERUDET with other organization aids, Eg Weltwaerts in Germany and Alafico in Tanzania.

If you’re looking for a guide who’s showing you around (and we’re talking about really around and not just a boring city trip), Albrin is the guy for you. Besides his knowledge of the country and its history, his English is perfect and you can easily talk to him. He knows popular and secret spots and pretty much anything you want to see in this country. All of my homies who have met him before, love him for his personality in the first place. To anyone not yet convinced: you’re gonna miss an experience you will never have again!

My internship in the hospital was very enriching. I have seen many different cases like births, small surgeries and other diseases. The time was amazing and the team in the hospital was great. During my free time Albrin showed me beautiful places at the coast. whenever I needed help, Albrin was supporting me. It was a wonderful time!

It was a great experience, I learned a lot and I'm glad I did it. It was a big experience. I was overwelmed a lot and I learned a lot too. It was sometimes tough for me to adjust to the country, the culture and the people. But overtime I changed and I started to feel like I was in the right place. The people were very welcoming and the way Albrin took care of me was great. I respect that very much. I'm also very gratefull for everything that he has done. And I'm glad that I went to the hospital because I learned a lot.
