What one of our volunteers had to say

This lovely appraisal featured on the back of one of our recent (anonymous) evaluation forms. We have a good idea who wrote it though, so without mentioning any names, Thank You! and we miss you loads :)

"A friend and I spent a month at the UCC and we were made to feel at home immediately after being greeted by Laura at the airport, and were made to feel at home for the entire duration of our stay. Laura [Volunteer Coordinator], Brendan [Project Manager], Kirstie [Education Coordinator] and Bernard [our cook] were brilliant - it is clear that everyone involved with the project cares deeply for the children. To be part of such a wonderful group of people, doing such good things was an honour.


The children who live at the centre (Abu, Juliana, Asana etc.) are all beautiful children and made our time in Ghana even more special. Teaching the children every day at the school was tough at times, but incredibly rewarding. To see so many children so happy and enjoying being at school every day is an absolute pleasure. The kids asked for homework and would come running up to us the next day to show us their work. To see the progression of the kids, be it small or significant, was most rewarding. 


I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the UCC to others. The people, attitude and ethos of the UCC is remarkable and I shall leave it with fond memories to last me a lifetime."
