WHAT OTHERS HAVE SAID.

"I think SYTO goes above and beyond to see to it that volunteers are comfortable, whenever they needed help. Also the coordinator was easily accessible."
Jeanen Cochran , USA .

"My 3 months in Ghana were the best. It became my second homeland. I was a bit nervous. A new land, a new culture, different people, different mentality. But SYTO was really helpful. The orientation was very useful. I learn a lot and I've seen a lot. The busy market, the beach, but also cultural issues and language lessons. And if I had a problem or questions I could always call SYTO and they would help me really fast. It's a shame that my time is up. I loved my stay here. And thanks to SYTO for placing me at the project where I've worked. It was great."
Eveline Kofman, Holland .

"I think that SYTO's programme is well done, since to live in a family is the best way to be exposed to the Ghanaian culture. The staff are pleasant and always available"
Binetou Diagne , Senegal .

"I learned a lot during my stay because of the intensive contact with Ghanaian people, a very interesting experience."
Mirjam Brandenburg , Holland .

"My experience of volunteering in Ghana confirmed my passion for development work. It made me consider working outside of South Africa , perhaps in West Africa . I was fully integrated with all my friends and so I learnt a great deal about the real lives of people in Ghana . My host family was superb in all aspects! Excellent food and company. He was an incredibly warm, accommodating person.The programme is a superb experience."
Steve Pickerill, UK .

"I wanted to get to know as much as possible about a totally different culture and the people. The best way therefore is to live close to them under the same conditions they do. That was a great experience. I benefited from my whole time in Ghana ."
Milena Tauber , Germany .

"First of all the orientation days will make you feel safer and more comfortable in a country that is totally different from what you know. As you are taken through Accra , You get in touch in a rather safe way as there is taking care. You'll meet a lot of surprises and it is good that you find the time getting used to them because you will find them every single day. Of course you also learn how to behave and some of the language"
Robert Teafel, Germany .
