My Adventure in Ghana

Patty WhiteOn Januarary 1, 2010, I flew out of Brisbane, Australia to begin a new adventure in Ghana. I had long felt I needed to be doing something more in my life so I chance upon HWI's orphanage volunteer program and immediately applied. As I am semi-retired with children and grandchildren already doing volunteer and community work in Brisbane, I have a fair idea of the importance of volunteering.

Sital Lefebvre During my stay in Ghana, I chose to work at the New Life Orphanage. The orphanage holds forty-two children who love to break out in song and are naturally gifted at dancing. The age range varies from infants to late teens. The younger children look up to the older children who are given more responsibility, such as cooking, cleaning, and having the final say in arguments.

I was introduced to Humanity World International through a friend who found the website on the internet. There is a range of different opportunities such as law and human rights, volunteering at orphanages, teaching, and medical internships at the hospital.

There is a lot of preparation that is required before you leave for Ghana.
