Hey guys! My name is Teagan, and as of August 26th, 2014, at about 7 a.m, I am officially a volunteer through an amazing program called Projects Abroad. Projects Abroad is an organization that sends volunteers to all corners of the world, to about 30 countries. I will be going to Cape Coast, Ghana, in the summer of 2015. I will be going on a "High School Specials" trip, where I will be observing at a hospital for one day a week, then spending the rest of the week in public health clinics, giving malaria tests, dressing wounds, etc. This project is for high schoolers betwen the ages of 16 and 19, and I will be going for a month. I will be staying with a host family for the entire trip.
