Life-Changing Experience
June 12, 2025
“I am honoured to have been a part of the DaakyePa Initiative, as it’s given me the opportunity to make a huge difference to a wonderful local rugby team in the heart of Accra. The kids are some of the toughest, most courageous, but also the kindest rugby players I’ve ever worked with, and the experience I shared with them will last a lifetime. Thank you to the African Warriors, thank you to the DaakyePa Initiative and thank you to Ghana”.

Incredible Cultural Tour
May 28, 2025
My second visit to Ghana with Daakyepa was incredible, offering an authentic experience of the country's culture, people, and food. The organization's owner, who became a close friend, is highly engaged with guests' interests. I particularly enjoyed playing soccer with local boys on Mondays, bar game nights, and visiting the market, where the relaxed atmosphere provided peace amidst chaos. Additionally, I volunteered by giving soccer training and coaching for boys under 13, which was deeply rewarding. We discussed personal and team goals and life lessons, helping them navigate challenges. I highly recommend volunteering at Daakyepa for an unforgettable experience. Ghana has truly captured my heart.
