Volunteer in Africa

David Biggins

Michelle Cadby recounts her volunteering experience in Africa and explains why others should be inspired to visit this wonderful continent. I have three things to say to you: travel, volunteer and visit Africa. I shall elaborate on this, otherwise this would be a very short but sweet article. Each continent has its wonders and beauty, but personally, Africa is the place my heart has fallen for. Unfortunately, many still seem to fear this huge continent, but whether you enjoy travelling off the beaten track or in style, volunteering or just exploring, there’s something for everyone. Let me assure you that as long as you’re sensible, there is nothing to be feared about this enchanting continent, only enjoyed! So far my African travels have taken me to South Africa, Senegal, Benin, Togo, the Gambia and Ghana, each country as stunning, friendly, alluring, captivating and inspiring as the last. Let me elaborate on the roots of this African love affair. I took my first steps on African soil in Ghana where I spent three months volunteering. I arrived at 1am, and yet was still immediately hit by the humidity. I see now that my taxi ride to my new home in the outskirts of the capital, Accra, was the perfect introduction to African public transport: the door handle broke off in my hand, the engine wouldn’t start and halfway home we came to a slow halt and the driver got out to top up the petrol from a container he kept in the boot. During my time in Ghana I taught French and English at a local school

StratfordUpon-Avon

and helped out at a local orphanage. On my first day I was given a class of about 50 very daunting 14-year-olds to teach French. Somewhat terrified by the prospect of how I was going to maintain their attention, I started by nervously introducing myself. As soon as I said I loved music, they all clapped and cheered. Soon the tables and chairs became drums; the girls sung the local songs, then the boys

“This happiness was incredibly infectious; never have I seen so many smiles than when I’ve been in Africa” started rapping. Instantly, the ice was broken and I had somehow managed to earn their respect. This love of music is shared by all generations. It goes without saying that Ghanaians have enviable rhythm and ability to sing and dance, leaving you in awe. I adored every child at the orphanage, each day looking forward to going to play with the children. Wherever I went in Ghana, there were always children smiling, waving and looking cheerful. This happiness was incredibly infectious; never have I seen so many smiles than when I’ve been in Africa. Equally, never have I experienced such generosity than when I’m in Africa. Not only are the Ghanaians full of smiles, they are also incredibly friendly and hospitable, and this can be said for the great majority of Africans I’ve

met. I lost count of the number of times older ladies insisted on paying for my Tro Tro ride (the local buses which would have failed their MOT years ago here) and made sure I knew where I was going. Whenever you ask for directions, most often, people will take you and show you the way, instead of just blurting out directions. Once you’ve bartered all you can in the many exuberant and lively markets in Accra, you’ll find that the rest of Ghana is equally full to the brim with things to see and do: standing under a pounding waterfall, the canopy walk through the tree tops at Kakum National Park, a chilled weekend at Kokrobite white sandy beach, a visit to Elmina Castle learning about its history or seeing how the famous Kente cloth is made in Ho. Kumasi is Ghana’s second city, where you’ll find West Africa’s largest market. A long bus journey north takes you to Mole National Park, where elephants, waterbucks, warthogs, vultures, crocodiles and antelopes can be spotted. A night not to be missed, if ever the opportunity arises, is sleeping on a rooftop, under the stars; a truly unforgettable experience, listening to the sounds of the village and the music and chanting from the mosque (one of the oldest in Africa) as you fall asleep. I struggle to conclude on this subject of Africa, and Ghana itself; however I do so, I feel justice will not be made to this continent. For want of a better way of saying it, quite simply I shall say that this is an incredible continent, with incredible scenery, filled with incredible people, just waiting to treat you with incredible experiences. Next on the list: Madagascar.
