A life changing experience in Ghana! Past Review
By Lacie G (Health Teacher Education., Southern Illinois University - Edwardsville) for
Southern Illinois University - Edwardsville (SIUE): Accra - Health Ed Internship Program in Ghana
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
The program opened my eyes to the world, I hope to continue to travel around the world and help people as much as I can. Ghana was very rewarding and I love the feeling of accomplishment and the appreciation I gained for my own country.
