I have been looking at this Ghanaian Orphanage for a little over a year. I have wanted to volunteer there so badly. I know Africa?! Everyone is like why do you want to go to Africa?! I really can't tell you why other than the fact that I am just drawn to it, me the one who hates bugs (especially spiders), extreme heat, and doesn't do well with no modern day bathrooms. Why do I want to go? I have no clue I just do Africa is so BEAUTIFUL and culturally rich, I can't see why everyone doesn't want to go!
SO here is my wonderful, amazing, and exciting announcement... I am going to Nkoranza, Ghana for two weeks in May of 2014. YES! I am SO excited! I can't stand it. I finally have a job and I am on my own I will be 18 in a week and I have no reasons not to go. The trip is roughly $3000 and if anyone is interested PLEASE contact me about it because I would love a travelling companion! Here is the break down of the different costs.
Plane Ticket: $1500-$2000 (If you buy early its not that expensive)
Orphanage Donation: $100 (The orphanage asks for a donation for the building)
Food: $180 (its $12 a day for the staff to buy and prepare food for your stay and two weeks is roughly 180)
Misc. Expenses: $300 (memorabilia, unexpected expenses ie: shuttle from Accra to Orphanage)
NOW is that exciting or what?!? I am so happy I love this kind of thing and why wouldn't you? If you think about it how many people can they say they've been to Africa AND you are helping a WONDERFUL cause by being a volunteer. Whether you are interested in going or not I think everyone should check out their website because its awesome you will fall in love, I know I did! the address is lovekidsfoundation.org
check out their page and see what it is that I am so excited about, there is so much you can do for them if you cannot physically get to Africa and volunteer.
I hope you all will at least look at the page. I hope everyone has a WONDERFUL rest of their Sunday or whatever day you are reading this (: LOVE YOU ALL!
