I joined Platform2 in order to gain a deeper perspective of Ghanaian culture and to view the way of life of some Ghanaians. The project was based in Kasapin which is located in the Bronafo Region in Ghana, West Africa. It is about 150km away from Kumasi, which is Ghana’s second city. The main language is Twi and English is widely spoken. I worked as a volunteer in Kasapin for ten weeks, helping to build a community centre and also working in the schools, as well as the healthcare clinics.
