Summer Plans

Summer Plans

January seems a little early to be making summer plans doesn’t it? I thought so too, until I decided to study abroad in Ghana this summer! In fact, I began looking into studying abroad in October! I guess that’s what happens when you are as excited about future plans as I am.

I was able to do a lot of the work, such as applying, over winter break. I also researched volunteer opportunities in Ghana. I figure that I might as well make the most of the opportunities I have while I’m there. I found an organization, International Volunteer HQ, that offers short-term volunteer opportunities in Ghana.

I applied to IVHQ and was accepted to volunteer teach in a rural school in Ghana for three weeks before my study abroad program! I am so excited!

Talking about this makes me wish it was summer already. I have to pull myself back to reality though and focus on the semester at hand. It ‘s going to be a tough one but my trip to Ghana this summer is a bright light at the end of the tunnel!

Check out this cool poster of Africa that my roommate got me after finding out that I was accepted into my programs!
