Volunteering in Ghana

In July 2016 I decided to do some voluntary work in Ghana, Africa, at a hospital up in the picturesque mountains of Kwahu. My experience was incredibly humbling. As soon as I'd stepped out of the rickety taxi I'd taken from the airport to my new home for six weeks, I fell in love. In love with the school children playing shoeless in the dirt, the chickens and cows running freely around the town and the colourful stalls selling anything from bananas to banku.
