Want to know why I volunteered in Ghana? Read caption⬇️

My name is Malisa and I’m sharing my experience from volunteering with PMGY in Ghana!🇬🇭✨

If you’re looking for an experience out of the ordinary with lots of culture and eye opening experiences this is definitely the place. I’ve had so many moments here that I will cherish and remember for ever!

- Explore a culture so different from your own! Cultural nights, African karaokes, bonfires and drums!🪘The local teams go above and beyond ❤️

- Immersive and heartwarming projects! The children here are so adorable and super energetic! I wanted to make an impact and education is definitely a way to go! 📚🧑‍🏫

- I got the opportunity to visit the hospitals and I was very interested to learn more about the Ghanaian healthcare system and their hospitals. This was for me eye opening and I’m incredibly grateful for how nicely the doctors and nurses welcomed us. 🏥🩺

- While volunteering in Ghana I got to go in two incredible weekend trips! Those where nothing less than fantastic! I saw wild elephants up close, visited a rural village, took a surfing lesson on the beach and hand fed monkies 🏄🏼😍

A memory for life and I met so many wonderful people✨❤️

Over the weekend PMGY Ghana made a huge difference to Mognori eco village, a small farming village situated close to Mole National Park.

This village is a long way from any hospitals and they have very limited access to any healthcare due to no vehicles and financial difficulties. This means that the majority of illness are left untreated or undiagnosed.

Today PMGY Ghana set up a clinic within the village to test and treat malaria. Those who tested positive were provided with advice, education and treatment.

Ghana is among the 15 highest burden malaria countries in the world, posing a serious health problem and a leading cause of death in a lot of areas.

This is an incredible achievement and those families can go to sleep tonight knowing they are negative for malaria or are been treated for it. This is an incredible achievement and we are very proud to be able to this thanks to our amazing volunteers👏🏽 Huge thank you to for helping to organise this too! And thank you to .alabama, the medical students worked tirelessly in the heat and did such an effort!! 😍
