My husband Benni and I spent 4 month in Ghana from June – September 2023. Originally we wanted to stay for two month, but we extended our stay twice because we loved it so much Sally is the perfect host and took wonderful care of us. We quickly became close friends (we always call her our „Ghana mom“ now). We had a lot of fun with her and her family, doing weekend adventures around the country and enjoyed the delicious traditional meals Sally cooked for us every day. Because we are a couple we stayed in our own private apartment, just 50 meters away from the volunteer house. We volunteered in an orphanage/school, there we helped taking care of kids from 1-3 years and also supported the teacher with her lessons in class. But other then that Sally is involved in so many other projects/programs and always helps people around the neighborhood and in the community. Here are just a few examples of what we accomplished together during our stay: – one week of medical outreach in remote villages – school book distribution of 3000 books in different schools – enrolling 2 kids in school – helped a 15-year old girl becoming a tailor – supported a 15- year old teenage mom of newborn twins – helped to finance an operation for a 7 year old boy – helped a mother of 9 children to start her own business selling charcoal – 4 day skill training for mothers of special needs kids …. By volunteering with SFLIG VOLUNTEERS you will be able to make a meaningful impact for the community and individuals in Ghana! We loved being part of the family and would always come back! Luca & Benni Baumgartner
