I'm sorry I didn't try to contact you earlier, but as I'm checking my account only once a week, I was too busy telling all my friends at home how wonderful Ghana is! Yes, I'm enjoying my stay at Kakum National Park very much! My host family in Abrafo is great and on weekends I'm staying in Cape Coast with my Coordinator?s wonderful family!
I had an extremely positive experience with Diario La Hora and would recommend the program to anyone. The people were more than helpful and the journalists there were some of the most friendly that I have met anywhere.
Ghana has been treating me very well so far. My host family is wonderful.I couldn't have asked for a better living situation. They really care about my happiness, the house is clean and safe and I am fed well!
My month at Cuenca was irreplaceable. This shelter, Casa de Maria Amor,for abused women and their children, opened my eyes to what these women go through daily, and how strong in personality they have become. Only a few minutes bus ride from my homestay in Cuenca, it was simple to get to in the morning, and made for a beautiful walk back through Old Cuenca when time allowed so.
We have made a safe return from Africa. I had an amazing experience and would love to go back sometime in the near future. I experienced more of a culture shock coming home than I did when entering Ghana.
The guide was extremely useful and very detailed. It gave a thorough insight to what I could expect when I arrived. The "miscellaneous tips and information" section was very practical information to include. A section I thought was unique but a great idea to include was the "recommended reading"section. The last page with its closing thoughts I enjoyed reading several times.
Hello. An article was put in my local paper in reagrds to my experiences in Ghana and I have had a few people enquiring about Cosmic so have given the website and phone number, I hope something comes of there interest as I had a fabulous experience.
Hi, Scott, from Quito. Things are great. Very well organized and fun. My Coordinator Mirian has been helpful. I am on my way to the Spanish school now for a class, but will write more in a day or two. Just checking in to let you know that everything has been working out better than expected, both with my volunteer time at the hospital and my living situation here in the city. Thanks for all of your leg work in putting together such a great experience.
I would just like to thank you for organising my orphanage work in Mumbai. I had the most amazing experience working and living there also. The children were so friendly and adorable, and the people that worked there were also the kindest friendliest people I have ever met.
We are two student nurses from England and have just spent a month at Tigoni sub District hospital. We chose Kenya so as we could experience health provision within a developing country.
I recently volunteered in Kenya in Cosmic Volunteers' wildlife volunteer program for a month and had the best experience of my life. I thoroughly enjoyed the program and was received and taken care of with open arms and prompt contact when needed.
Laura is back from Nairobi. She had a fantastic time. This trip turned out better than I had ever hoped for. We can't thank you enough for all your help. What a great organization Cosmic Volunteers is!
Just a quick email to say I'm having a great time here in Ghana. The host family are just wonderful! I didn't actually think it was possible to PUT ON weight in Africa, but there you go, you learn something new every day.
