There will be a record amount of volunteers in Ghana this summer taking part in a wide variety of projects across the country. Most have heard of Accra, the capital, or read about Kumasi in a guidebook. But the Akuapem Hills? Where is that?

Of the four regions our volunteers work in the least well known would probably be the Akuapem Hills, a rural area an hour and a half outside of Accra. But once they are there they fall in love with it! Since having a visual helps with going to any new place, I have posted two videos that will give volunteers headed there this summer a sense of the area and will hopefully bring back some memories for alumni. Enjoy!

The drive from the Projects Abroad office in Accra to the Akuapem Hills. Every volunteer in the Hills will make this drive after they first arrive in the country.

A great video of an assembly at the Holy Hills school in Kwamoso, Akuapem Hills. I just love all the smiles and energy of the kids!
