Best thing i have ever done

When asked 'how was your time in Africa?', I genuinely find it hard to put into words! The whole experience was utterly amazing. I never got bored of looking out the window whilst on our bus journeys and absorbing the various walks of life that add to their amazing culture (selling goods on their heads/ carrying children on their backs and their laid back approach to life). There are so many aspects of Ghanaian life which I wish was part of our culture at home. It truly has such a positive impact on your outlook on life.
As part of my volunteering experience I was lucky enough to meet the girls who 'Enliven Mama' are helping to become seamstresses. These girls are of similar age to myself with children of their own so this is a fantastic way of providing them with work to help fend for their families. Their commitment and skills were great and it was fantastic to see the money which was fund raised going towards such a worthwhile cause.
As well as this, the friendships which are made and the people you meet along the way act as a massive contribution towards your adventure. The bonds that are made within the volunteering team add to the experience!
Personally, I had never done anything like this prior to volunteering with Enliven and I would certainly do it again. The four weeks pass too quickly and I often wish I was back in Ghana surrounded by the upbeat amazing people.
I hope this doesn't sound too 'cheesy' as I really do mean it and if you make the choice to volunteer with 'Enliven Mama Africa' you will experience the same wonders :)
