Go and Volunteer Abroad - and Select A Broader View Volunteers! Back in August 2017, I was extremely fortunate to identify a wonderful non-profit volunteer organization, A Broader View Volunteers (ABV), in my desire to perform my first orphanage volunteer work in Ghana Africa. They connected me with a very special group of people from a refugee camp in Ghana who stole my heart. I fell in love with the children and consider those running the orphanage/ school very dear friends. At the end of my assignment, a poignant life changing experience, I was counting down the days to return which occurred August 2019. From my first trip onward, I stay connected with these remarkable people to support them financially and in many other ways as their needs are many. To present day, ABV continues to be instrumental and supportive of my requests on behalf of this orphanage. Over and above both assignments that ABV very effectively prepared me for, they have been a true partner that continues to support of the many needs that this orphanage has on behalf of many beautiful children. I am so fortunate to have found ABV and will always be grateful that they placed me exactly where I belonged.

Rewarding experience I was in Ghana for 5 weeks from end of October to December. Sarah described me very accurately my teaching assignment and living conditions during my initial call. They were checking the trip progress periodically while in Ghana. This is well run organization I had lot of trust from the initial inquiry. Since they have limited control of in country organization minor changes should be expected. I worked in Ghana with dedicated teachers and bunch of great kids.

My experience in Belize was amazing My experience in Belize was amazing! I had such a great time with the kids, and the orphanage's staff were welcoming, accommodating, and incredibly friendly.

Communication was excellent Communication was excellent . All my questions were answered very timely . And organization arranged a mission which was taylored to my group .

Highly Recommend A Broader View for Global Volunteer Assignments!! For well over a year, I researched many profit and non-profit organizations around the world who coordinate global volunteer assignments, and was so happy I selected A Broader View (ABV). It was my first volunteer trip in Ghana, Africa and the ABV staff was so helpful making sure that everything was in order for such a trip. Between my research, interviewing volunteers, and working with ABV, I was so excited and very prepared (mentally and physically) for such a trip. Since the trip was eight months ago, they continue to be very responsive and supportive as I continue to fundraise to support this very special orphanage that they assigned us to. It was a life-changing trip and I plan to work with ABV again to return to Ghana in the upcoming year!
