Sebastian SmithFor the next nine weeks, Sebastian Smith will be working at the Vivibon School in Accra, Ghana as a volunteer teacher. He sums up his impressions, excitement and expectations below:

Since arriving in Ghana, I have met very friendly people who actively seek friendship and are always willing to help me.

I am excited to see the school and the community surrounding the house I am staying at. I expect warm humid weather with lots of new interesting things to see and do.
I would use this opportunity to learn about volunteering and working with children. I would like to immerse myself in the community and learn as much about the city of Accra as possible with the nine weeks I am here.

Before I attend college in the spring I would like to travel to be part of a culture that drastically is different than my own. I have been part of multiple local organizations that work to improve our community, and have found it to be one of the most enjoyable uses of my time. Teaching is also something I would like to gain more experience in. Mostly I am motivated to live in another country for an extended period of time, as it is something I have not had the chance to do in my life yet.
