Thanks for the checking out the blog for this Global Leadership Adventures program!
Here are a few things to know and expect:
- Blog posts are written by onsite program staff and/or students and sent to our Headquarters team who will post the blog on this page.
- We typically receive 2-3 blog updates per week from each program, so please don’t be alarmed if you don’t see a blog post every day – that’s totally normal.
- Blog updates received late in the evening or overnight will be posted the following day.
- Blog updates received on weekends may not be posted until Monday.
- Due to many factors such as internet accessibility, program staff aren’t always able to send photos, so some blog posts may contain text only.
Thank you for your patience and understanding, and we hope you enjoy following along on these unforgettable adventures.

BLOG POST FOR JULY 6
Welcome to the GLA Ghana – Children of Africa blog.
Program is officially underway! The group arrived at home base in Krobo to song and dance as we were greeted by local staff. We spent today settling in to our home for the next two weeks and starting to explore the community.
The kids we are going to be working with are so cute. We visited them at school today and were instantly surrounded as the children ran to meet us. They can’t wait to get to learn more about the United States from us and teach us about their culture.
We are all so excited to be here. Many of us have never been in a community like this, and we are already learning so much. The food is great, the smiles are big, the vibes are good, and we are already coming together as a group.
A few students aren’t here yet (Oscar, Nick, and Bassam are arriving tonight, and Liliana will get here tomorrow), so they aren’t featured in the group picture below. We will provide an updated group photo when the entire group is here.
Starting the day after tomorrow, students will start to write the blog to give you updates about our adventures. Blogs should come in every couple of days.
We can’t wait to spend the next two weeks here in Ghana, and I’m sure you are all excited to hear all about it.
Cheers,
GLA Ghana 2026
