Ahlia Dunn
“My trip to Ghana was the greatest experience I have ever had. I gained so much knowledge and wisdom from the people and places I encountered. I could not have asked for a more enlightening and successful trip. From this point on, I will not take things for granted and will be forever grateful for any new experience I have.”
Elena Huezo
“I could truly appreciate where I came from and what had at home. It was sad to see how limited the resources were in Ghana and how this affected every aspect of the life of the children we met.”
Malyka Joseph
“We can learn valuable lessons from the people I met in Ghana; you don't need technology or material items to have fun. If I had a chance to do this all over again I definitely wouldn't hesitate.”
Iziah Pierre
“If more students could have the experience I have had through this program, I believe we could really create a positive impact on society. I couldn’t help but notice how happy the people of Ghana were and how they valued what may seem inconsequential to Americans."
Valentino King
“It’s absolutely amazing how your life changes after being somewhere other than your home country. My experience in Ghana has changed my life in many ways, but mainly it helped me mainly to become a better individual, and to be appreciative of everything I have.”
Melvin Rivers
“My time in Ghana has changed my life and the way I view the world. The children I met inspired me by their passion for learning, and how much they took pride in their school and country.”
