    Description

    The Glory of Ghana

    Volunteers will work with a locally organized group with projects in numerous surrounding villages. Projects are focused on supporting rural communities through various objectives chosen by the local community. With larger groups, these projects include building school blocks for kindergartners, instruction, or improvement of washrooms and facilities that the children use (oftentimes times current conditions are extremely unsanitary.) Most of your time will likely be spent on one of the nearby smaller rural communities for whom you will be helping meet the hygiene needs as part of our Water Sanitation and Hygiene Project. Efforts in Ghana have a great deal of support in the local communities, and volunteers will be cherished and appreciated as they help the people of Ghana, on projects that are important to them, and learn to see and experience their culture in a way that few rarely ever do.

    Projects vary depending on the number of volunteers, which projects were finished (or not) with the prior group, what priorities have changed, weather conditions, which supplies are available, and often the interest and fitness level of the volunteers. For these reasons, specific projects are often not fixed until the week prior to your arrival and can even change upon arrival.
