The children. Always smiling and so friendly no matter what their situation - really taught me some lifelong lessons. I also loved the fact that I knew no one from the group before the trip but we got on so well. Absolutely enjoyed Jerry (the cook)'s cooking!!

The rewarding feeling you get seeing the children happy when you've done a good job, or simply after playing with them (e.g football) for an hour or so is amazing.
The tourist type trips we did of a weekend were unforgettable, for example, a canopy walk through a rainforest and sleeping in a tree house, these are some of the best things I've done in my entire life, let alone the trip.

Once at the libraries the work was very efficient and organised, this was helped by having confident and appropriate team leaders.
I LOVED the orphanage and the vegetable patch!!
I love chicken and rice so the food was good!
The house was better than I was expecting too!

The trip was very well organised and gave us the chance to experience everything Ghana had to offer. Couldn't pick a particula thing I enjoyed most and I throughly enjoyed every moment of the trip.

I really enjoyed working on the projects. In particular I enjoyed the interaction with the children and locals of the community. I thought the library builds were well organised and we were extremely productive. I especially enjoyed working at the orphanages with the babies. I thought assisting in creating a vegetable patch was a great idea that would be extremely beneficial! I also liked the fact that we were able to see most if not all of the main tourist attractions that Ghana had to offer on our visit.
