Description
Volunteers adventure travel to help on summer or workcamp will put smiles on the faces of the poor people in our deprive communities in Ghana. This project is necessary because government alone cannot develop all the communities therefore there is the need for rural communities to take initiative in developing their communities by putting their destiny into their own hands. In this regard volunteers serve as motivator on these projects. We are constructing a three unit classroom black for kindergarten kids who are currently under an improvised shed at the mercy of the weather.
