Welcome! Woezo! Akwaaba!
Hi Valued Volunteer,
My name is Gunadiish and I'm your In-Country Coordinator
as well as your pick up guy and I have the pleasure to write
to you to participate in a voluntary service in a peaceful country
Ghana. A voluntary service you will always remember on your
return home. The people you will be working with are courteous
and friendly. They are ready to make your stay in Ghana a memorable
one.
I'm a Ghanaian, born and raised here. I'm here
to help you get adjusted to the very different socioeconomic
and cultural set up. No matter how experienced or inexperienced
you are in travelling, you gonna need me to be your mentor and
your dependable one though I shall not be with you all the time.
Don't feel nervous, and though you may, all that feeling will
go when I meet you at the airport. I take great pleasure at
welcoming people, guests like you, and making them feel at home,
making their stay here in Ghana a successful one and a memorable
one. In collaboration with Shana and Village Volunteers, we
make your volunteering here a success and a great benefit to
the projects and the villages that you will be working at. We
value and acknowledge your work and your decision to come here
to assist. Though sometimes it might not be all that easy because
of the culture shock, I will help you get over it as quickly
as possible and assist you in any way I can.
I am a UNIVERSALIST and have the belief that the
whole world is one country with one human culture and all of
us are citizens of that one country although there are though
different races and traditions, with different social background
and development. I believe we can live in unity through the
philosophy of understanding, tolerance and respect for each
other's ideology and culture and relinquishing the Principle
of Selfish Pleasure whilst getting transformed with the Principle
of Social Equality.
It is my passionate trust that your visit to Ghana will add value to your knowledge of people and also be a great help to the project and the village that you shall be working at.
There is a warm welcome "AKWAABA! WOEZOR!"”
awaiting your arrival in Ghana at the Kotoka International Airport.
I'm looking forward to meeting you.
With great care and smiles,
Your own Gunadiish
BNK
