Ghana Volunteer Placement

Many children in Ghana find themselves orphans, due to the spread of HIV/AIDS and extreme poverty, and are in desperate need of support. Orphanages have been established to provide shelter, food, and education to those in need. Unfortunately, many are understaffed, underfunded, and overwhelmed, and volunteers are urgently needed.
Tasks vary, depending on the needs of the orphanage, as well as each participant's skills and qualifications. Volunteers will assist with all day-to-day tasks, such as cleaning, cooking, and serving food to the children. You will also teach the children basic English and organize sports games to promote physical education. In addition, volunteers need to assist the permanent staff with counseling children.
