I only have good words for this new NGO and his members. The members and the family made me feel one more of them and treat me incredibly good. The kids of the community were always happy and eager to be with us, teaching me Fante or showing me their traditions and dances. Since is a very new NGO we work in the development of its structure. Apart from working on this we had a lot of fun. I can only recommend to be part of this cause it order to bring the community more education and better future. Thanks for everything!! Medaase paa ❤️

Benjamin and his family made me feel very welcomed, taken care of, and included in both personal family engagements and community engagements. Very kind, humble, hard-working people dedicated to ensuring volunteers are happy, culturally immersed, and adjusting well to the community. They brought me to plenty of outings, taught me bits and pieces of local language and customs, and introduced me to plenty of fantastic food. I had a great stay with them and can't recommend them enough.

My experience with Benjamin was amazing in every way. He is respectful, organized, and very flexible with volunteers. The work was clear and fair, and the environment was comfortable and motivating. Benjamin is always smiling and truly cares about making the experience beneficial for both sides. I highly recommend anyone looking for a positive and enjoyable experience on Worldpackers to collaborate with him!

Hosting Abderrahim (Kwesi) was a wonderful experience. He was respectful, hardworking and brought so much positive energy to the classroom and community. The students loved learning from him‐ they still say "voilá" just like he used to! His kindness, sense of humour and genuine care made a lasting impact on everyone. We're deeply grateful for his time with us at Scholars &Roots Ghana, and i highly recommend him to any host looking for a dedicated and inspiring volunteer. He is family now.
