Volunteer Testimonies


"I met Joy when I worked as a volunteer with the Global Volunteer Network (a New Zealand company) in Ghana. He met me at the airport late at night, ensured that I made it safely to my hotel and then travelled with me to Klepe, the small community that I was to work with over the next month.  He had organized that my home stay was satisfactory and regularly helped with any concerns/queries I had during my stay.............I found Joy to be very dedicated, reliable and responsible. He went over and beyond the call of duty in supporting me over weekends or after work with work questions if I needed him. He is well known and popular at all echelons in the community, easy to get along with and passionate about making a difference for Klepe residents."

"Joy greatly assisted my volunteering experience by helping me to integrate in the Ghanaian way of life, by providing access to the local volunteer's office when needed by myself or other volunteers, by providing information on travel and the local area and by generally being helpful and welcoming.
Due to my voluntary experience in Ghana I know there are the opportunities to make a lasting difference in the communities of volunteer host areas....Joy has enthusiasm, knowledge and skills in this area and I believe that he would ensure that any volunteer with CVG would have a happy and rewarding volunteering experience."

"I volunteered in the Klefe community, about 5km out of the town of Ho in the Volta Region in 2008.
During my stay, Joy was my counterpart and my friend.
Joy made my volunteering experience an extremely positive and enjoyable one. I always felt supported, being provided with a good understanding of Ghanaian culture, an orientation of the town Ho and helping me to get set up in my new town and volunteering role.

Crossover Volunteer Ghana has a great opportunity to improve the lives of Ghanaian villagers and their communities, while providing volunteers with an enjoyable and rewarding experience.

From my own experience I know that Joy and CVG will do everything possible to ensure volunteers are well supported and happy."
