Mel Potter- USA, Aug 2007  Being my first time in Africa, the team over at AYIAG  helped make my stay and experience a memorable one. I was assigned to work at the sepaase  Health Clinic in sepaase , a small rural village outside of Kumasi. As a volunteer, I assisted in several births, one of them being a set of twins! I also observed patients with malaria and rheumatic fever. Furthermore, I learned a lot about the Ghanaian healthcare system from the practices at the Midwife Clinic and through visits to the Komfo Anyoke Teaching Hospital in Kumasi. Finally, the most valuable experiences of my trip involved learning about the culture of the Ghanaian people, playing with the children, and eating all the various foods, like Fufu! At the end of my journey, I was able to visit Mole National Park and experience a walking safari and see elephants, antelope, monkeys, warthogs, and baboons within an arms-length reach!

 My greatest moment - the day I distinguished between the identical twins I lived with in my host's home. Everything was great, the Konadu's family, ayiag, the food and the community. In the first week, I was confused because Tim's Africa Aid  could not work with the timetable I had. Then I understood the system, insufficient funds so you get to know what the organization can do the next day or week depending on what money is available. I had such a nice time with the HIV/AIDS counselling and the Orphans monitoring. The Doctors at Tepa Goverment hospital  went round observing the patients and explaining things to me. Visiting the orphans in school was something I always would wish to do. The staff at Ayiag was so wonderful. I am glad to come back after school. Ghana would always be my favorite destination.
