<p>Okay so where do I start. Right. I have lived in Ghana for over six years. I can testify that Ghana is a safe country. It is one of the safest most stable countries in the whole of West Africa. Also, the eater will not be an issue unless you live in the rural areas. Accra, the capital of Ghana has clean water accessible in most areas. Unless you"re fetching water from the gutter or a stream, you will most likely not get any water born diseases. The people of Ghana are very friendly to foreigners too. Also, you mentioned how you might get an infected disease from Africans…okay, just like the US, there are hospitals here. People don’t just lie on the street when they are sick. I understand you want to do a medical brigade. I know many people doing volunteering programs of that sort, and as of now none of them have gotten sick. </p>
<p>I suggest you do more research on Ghana before you present this idea to your parents. With ample evidence and facts, I believe they will understand you. Please take note that other West African countries are extremely dangerous because of the Ebola outbreak. Ghana is at risk, but the government has managed to prevent it from affecting citizens for now. It’s also vital that you understand all these risks too. </p>
<p>Oh and Ghana is great for night life if that might be of interest!! Best clubs and awesome music. </p>
