My time volunteering with IVHQ was an incredible experience. The local team made me feel safe, comfortable, and welcome. I gained new insight and perspective, was completely immersed in a new culture, and felt like I really made a difference.

Spending time with the children, and seeing how people that have absolutely nothing make the most of everything, and are truly happy and grateful.. just makes you feel truly grateful for what you have, and it makes all of your problems feel small. I plan to do this annually and hope to make it back to the same village I went to in Ghana someday.

I did a 4 weeks sport teaching program in Ghana and it was such an incredible experience. The whole community in the village was very welcoming and work with kids was amazing and so fulfilling. The program was very well organized and everybody from school was helpful and supportive. The accommodation conditions were very basic, but we didn’t really need much more than that. The staff that was taking care of our stay was so lovely. They always made sure that the rooms and common areas are clean and that we have everything that’s absolutely necessary. I loved the food arrangement, when we were served proper, delicious meals three times a day and basically every day the menu was different. It gave us a chance to try a lot of homemade local specialties. I would highly recommend to go volunteering in Ghana.

I recently volunteered in Ghana through IVHQ, and it was truly an experience of a lifetime. As a third year nursing student, I took part in the Ghana medical program. From beginning to end, the local team was incredible. IVHQ was organized in every aspect. I was also able to express what I wanted to get out of this experience to the local team. They worked with me directly so that I could make the most substantial impact while still focusing on my requests. Thank you IVHQ for an amazing experience. I look forward to planning my next volunteer experience through IVHQ.

I had a wonderful experience volunteering with IVHQ Ghana. The Local Team were incredibly supportive, and I learnt so much during my time there - both about the local culture and myself. I found my experience way more challenging, both physically and mentally, than I expected, however, I think this really helped me to grow as a person, and is what made my experience so transformative. I am walking away from this programme a changed person, and I am so grateful to IVHQ for this experience - it is one I will never forget :)

It was a wonderful experience working with IVHQ. I am so excited to take up this opportunity as a volunteer for Childcare in Ghana. One of the most significant aspects of my life that will continue to mold me into the person I am becoming is my volunteer experience in Ghana. I can give back to the world that provides me with so much by volunteering. Since everyone has a different definition of volunteer service, there is no universally accepted definition. Is it the sound of the adorable kids having fun, learning, and participating in their activities? Perhaps it's the happiness on the faces of the kids that I see, or the amazing care we received from the local team from pickup, nice meals etc, and the way the community accepted us that volunteering are all of these things. I have developed numerous skills through volunteer work. I am grateful for all that volunteering has done for me through IVHQ.

From start to finish this experience was amazing. I would firstly start by mentioning how accomodating and welcoming the local team are and their continuous efforts to satisfy every volunteers needs to feel comfortable during the experiences is amazing. The Volunteering program itself is so rewarding and with a great team of volunteers the experience is even better. Overall my time at IVHQ Ghana was amazing and i would definitely volunteer through IVHQ again and for anyone who is debating on volunteering through IVHQ i would 100% recommend

I completed a nursing field school in Ghana with IVHQ and my school. The local coordinators were extremely accommodating and were always trying their best to meet our needs. This experience was the adventure of a lifetime. I learned so much about my area of interest in nursing and so much about the culture in Ghana. The local coordinators ensured that you were always having the best experience possible, they were also very open to feedback. Not only did I complete lots of volunteer work but we also had the opportunity to go on several excursions. I highly recommend the programs in Ghana.

We were able to explore the local tourist areas, beaches, etc. while being hosted by our local team members. They were helpful in suggesting ideas and providing fantastic experiences while feeling safe in a foreign environment. We were offered and took advantage of additional medical mission experiences which allowed us to travel into more remote villages to tend to wounds. We went as a group and were able to complete over 600 malaria tests at local schools, mostly on children. We felt safe and appreciated. This was an amazing experience!
