Volunteer to Aid Children, Families and the Community in Ghana
Work side by side to better the community that you are in by teaching the children, working in a health care facility, or mentor children. All these jobs are valuable to create a better system for this area to grow. Although English is the official language, many children do not have the education to communicate properly. School fees and medical fees, although small, are too large for some families to afford. Your generous work and dedication can change lives for children, families and the sick in Ghana (1-12 weeks).
Cost: Varies with duration of your stay.
Dates: Ongoing; beginning the first and third Monday of each month.
Contact: United Planet, 11 Arlington St, Boston MA 02116, USA. Telephone: 617-267-7763.
