Description

Volunteering in Ghana on our Orphanage support program is the best travel experience you can have since you would be making a difference in an unfortunate child's life in the orphanage. Orphanages in Ghana consist of kids from needy home, street children as well as kids with one or both parents dead. Volunteers will need to have love for children and be able and willing to give that love along with care, patience and understanding.

Your Role as a Volunteer:
The volunteers activities at the orphanages depend both on the needs of the individual orphanage, as well as the skills and interests of the volunteers themselves. Volunteers will assist in the day-to-day co-ordination of the Home, teaching, counseling, exchanging cultural views, teach them about health and hygiene, providing mental and physiological support, playing, cooking and feeding the children as well as other recreational activities. Volunteers can also assist in the office of the orphanage if you think you can contribute to make them more organized to run in an efficient manner. Come abroad and volunteer in Ghana Orphanage!

What you can bring along:
Children clothing, shoes, books, pens, crayons, pencils, erasers, story books, toys, playing materials (footballs, handballs, volleyballs) etc.
