<p>I'm planning to go to either Ghana with the GLA program or Ethiopia with the Projects Abroad High school special program! What are the differences between those two and which one should I go to?
I'm especially interested in the teaching aspect of the programs, and I want the program to be the best possible experience, so I want to make the right decision. </p>
<p>Thanks guys! :) </p>
<p>I would go to Ghana with GLA. I went on the Children of Africa program over the summer and it was an amazing experience. I do know that Ghana is a very safe country and you will learn so much and have a great experience if you choose to go to Ghana with GLA. For teaching, I taught a group of kids at a primary school basic subjects like English, math and science and they really enjoyed every aspect of it. We also built bricks for a new building that was being constructed in the area. I can promise you that GLA opens up so many doors for you and they give you the experience of a lifetime! Not only will you change your own life but you will help other people in the process and grow yourself! I think Ghana is your best choice and if you have any other questions please email me at <a href="mailto:Jerbouche19@gmail.com">Jerbouche19@gmail.com</a> and I’d be happy to help you out even more with specific questions!</p>
<p>If you’re looking for a program that allows you to completely delve into a new culture, work with children in primary schools, and make a huge difference both in their lives and in your own, then the Global Leadership Adventures Children of Africa program is DEFINITELY for you. I spent three weeks in Ghana last summer through this program and can not speak highly enough of it. It was absolutely incredible and life changing. If you have any specific questions about the trip, feel free to email me at <a href="mailto:madiob@comcast.net">madiob@comcast.net</a>! I’d love to answer any questions you have.</p>
<p>Not many high schoolers have the chance to have a life changing experience like this. GLA isn’t the cliche abroad trip. In its perfect blend of challenge and comfort and beauty, the essence of Ghana through the guidance of GLA was perfect.</p>
<p>GLA Ghana most definitely had to be one of the greatest gifts that I have ever received in my life. I was blessed to have the opportunity to travel to a beautiful country, and be accepted by a beautiful community. It was the best gift to be given the privilege to help, and being trusted enough to teach classes, and make bricks for the school. It was a gift to be surrounded around a group of people that cared about each other, and cared about the world. But most of all, I really think the greatest gift was the connections I have been able to make. I really believe that in Ghana, I learned how to be aware, and how to LIVE WITH PURPOSE. Having the skills to do that in itself is essentially, a gift, because many people do not have the opportunity to do so. I met the most wonderful people: the staff, other GLA students, and the Ghanaian people, and adorable life-changing little kids The whole GLA experience was a gift because I learned, through helping others, how to become an effective leader with vision, how to cultivate my voice, and how to use that voice to inflict change, and empower others to inflict change! I can’t think of a better gift. After my trip, I have been inspired to continue doing work at home and have motivated a lot of people to look beyond the comfort of their homes and even country, and strive to understand the world on a global level!</p>
<p>And on top of that: you’re safe the whole time, the food is AWESOME, and you get to go on awe-inspiring trips as you venture through the vibrance of ghana in the good hands of GLA! Would recommend this to anyone!</p>
