For my placement with Nutshell Care Foundation, I worked in Accra, once at a school called "New Generation School" and second a school for poorer kids, called "Homwac". I really loved twice projects. The children and teachers in twice projects were very nice and friendly. Every morning when I came to one project the kids run to me and huged me. I will never forget them. At New Generation School I helped the teachers during the lessons, I teached the kids a bit in maths, we often played games or we sung songs. On wednesdays and thursdays I was at Homwac. I occupated the kids with drawing, singing and so on. They also liked it when I made some pictures of them with my camera :-)

I collected so many experiences and I don't know where I should begin to explain. And I don't think anyone can really fully understand they gain and experience of the country. The more I saw of how people live and although it's so different to Europe, the people were so happy and helpful to me.

In my free time I tried to see a lot from Ghana's country and culture. I travelled with Nutshell Care Foundation in one week around Ghana. This trip was very great because I could see so many differences in the landscape. From white beaches to rainforrests and waterfalls, I saw animals, like elephants and so many other things - it was really great. After my projects I often went to „coco beach“, because the sea is very close to the accomodation. I also spent some time on African markets and on evenings I went out with some friends.

Nutshell Care Foundation is doing good work, it's a young organization but very good organized. In my first days I got a schedule and the staff always asked me if I'm happy with my room and so on. Every day I got African dishes and I really liked this food very much. NCF staff is very friendly and very helpful. They cared a lot for me.

When I arrived in Ghana, the people helped me that it's easy for me to orientate in the area. They have shown me a lot of useful places and teached me a bit in the local language called "Twi".

I would recommend to other volunteers to enjoy every single minute in Ghana and try to travel a lot. Try to help the people in the project, they will appreciate it.

I will never forget the time in Ghana. I wish I could stay longer but it was not possible because of my education. It was of course the right decision for me to do such thing. I learned a lot and I'm sure that I'll repeat on day such thing.“
