The Experience
Volunteers that chose to work at the childcare will be tasked with mentorship, counseling, general care, cleaning and various other tasks. The children are desperate for mentors who are willing to spend quality time with them, and plan fun engaging activities. Volunteers get involved in repairs and painting since the school or orphanage is in constant need of upkeep. Most volunteers that work at the shelter also teach at the primary school.

I've traveled a lot, but this was one of the most meaningful experiences. Seth and Naomi are incredibly kind, and Naomi's cooking is amazing. In rural Ghana, the project offers an authentic cultural experience. I even attended a wedding and funeral, gaining insight into local traditions. The organization's work is vital, rescuing children from child trafficking and giving them a better future through education. Many important projects are still in progress, and volunteers are essential in helping to make them happen. If you want to make a real impact, this is the perfect opportunity. 😊
