A Look Back

* What did you like most about the program?
  • Other Geneseo students going on it with me
  • The people we met
  • Our Ghanaian lisasions
* What could be improved?
  • Training beforehand of what the conditions will be like
  • Talking to previous teachers in this program
  • Extend the stay by a week
* What do you know now that you wish you knew before going on this program? I wish I had known what the health and sanitary conditions would be, and more of a description of someone who had been there. I wish we could have met someone who had gone on the trip before.
