(Rural Volunteer Program)
Is a professional program for volunteers from USA and Europe to offer their kind services in Ghana between 1 to 12months.

The programs attempt to create an atmosphere where the children from deprived schools experience the fun and excitement of life via exposure to nationals from foreign countries. The participants teach basic English or help in developing creative programs as music,dance, sports, ICT etc.

The participants live and share common values, cultures and ideas with the host family for a maximum of 12months. This has proven to be the most efficient means of understanding others from different cultural backgrounds. The program has been very successful with more and more participants seeking to have first hand experience of cultures around the world and may opt to stay with families in the host culture.

The expression of love, care and understanding shared by host families and participants become a vehicle of life changing experiences.

Life in Africa is different. This is to the credit of insightful knowledge the homestay offers during meal sharing, exchanging of ideas at the dinner table and learning to hand-wash clothes.

NB: We still have volunteer packages for volunteers/tourists who want to spend less than 1 month in Ghana.
