My Travel Story

by: Bailey Berdan Start Date: May 11, 2026 - End Date: Dec 31, 2026
This year, I have the opportunity to travel to rural Ghana through International Volunteer HQ (IVHQ) to take part in community infrastructure projects that support local villages through hands-on manual labor. This is much more than a trip for me — it’s a chance to contribute directly to meaningful work that can positively impact everyday life for families and children in underserved communities.

During my time in Ghana, I will be working alongside local residents and coordinators to help improve community spaces through renovation, construction assistance, and other labor-focused projects. Many rural communities face limited access to safe and reliable infrastructure, and even small improvements can make a lasting difference. Whether helping restore a school, repair shared spaces, or assist with construction efforts, every day of work will contribute toward projects designed to strengthen the community long-term.

To participate in this program, volunteers are responsible for covering travel expenses, program fees, housing, meals, transportation, and travel insurance. I’m fundraising to help make this opportunity possible and to ensure I can fully dedicate my time and effort to serving the community while I’m there. I am hoping this fundraising opportunity not only helps with travel expenses but can also go above and beyond to fund donations of daily essentials, medical supplies, and school supplies to families in the community.

I’m asking for your support in helping me reach this goal. Any donation, no matter the amount, will directly support my ability to participate in this program and contribute to these community projects. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this campaign with others would also mean a great deal to me.

This experience is important to me because I believe real impact comes from showing up, working hard, and being willing to serve others in meaningful ways. I’m excited for the opportunity to learn from a new culture, build genuine connections, and contribute to work that extends beyond myself.

Thank you for supporting my journey and helping make this mission possible. Your encouragement, generosity, and belief in this effort truly mean more than I can express.
