VOLUNTEER WORK CAMPS, SHORT AND LONG TERM
Come join our international short term volunteer project (Work-camp) this is a very meaningful way to travel with a purpose and spend some weeks in Ghana's environment. Working and living together with other volunteers from around the world provides an excellent opportunity to make many new friends, learn about unknown places and culture, gain new skills and experience. Your time and energy can make a difference in areas where help is really needed.
Building an education center for children in Peki, in the Volta Region.
Volunteer Project: The community is trying to build the classroom block for their Nursery/Kindergarten pupils, with the walls up; we are in the process of roofing the building now. However, there is so much more to do; the windows, the floor, plastering the walls, guttering & Rain-harvest tanks, Chalk-Boards, Desks & Chairs etc. With the funds that you bring to the project the volunteers in this program will be working directly with the carpenters, plumbers, masons etc., getting involved with the manual labor
We aim to strengthen our community from within, through a combination of financial support, voluntary work and important related activities. We support a socio-economic re-balancing; helping people free themselves from the oppressive economic state they are in. Our volunteer opportunities aim at working, on a grass roots level with the individuals in our community, helping alleviate their struggle for health care, education and uplift their standard of living gradually.
