- Healthcare System in Ghana
Because I am interested in the field of healthcare, I choose to do volunteer work in the local healthcare setting. My placement is St. Patrick Hospital, a private hospital in Hohoe. They have OPD, consulting room, wards, theatre, dispensary, lab, injection room, dental dept, and X-ray dept in the hospital. The first day of placement we went around and visited the environment. I was shocked by the settings, especially the theatre. It was very simple and crude. I didn’t think they could keep the room clean enough for surgery. A man there told us that he does all the surgeries. The incredible fact is that he is just a trained assistant rather than a highly qualified doctor. I can’t imagine what has happened in the room. Well...It is Africa...I told myself.

- Children in Ghana
Unlike children in some tourist spots of developing countries, kids here are so innocent like angels. When you walk on the street, you can see that kids smile and call you “Ya-po!” They will be very excited and happy if you respond to them. Once, a little girl ran to me, embraced me and smiled without a word. It seems that they approach you just because they are curious about you, the foreigner. What they want is only your time and attention. They may be the happiest and most satisfied children in the world. The material they have is only a little, but a little thing is enough to make them happy.
