Placement is free; volunteers will be living with our host family in Obomeng. However, volunteers pay $10 to support the running of the various services like water and electricity among other facilities volunteers will use at the host family. Volunteers will pay for their transport from Accra airport to placement area.On your arrival, there will be our staff Nana or Bright who will pick you up and travel with you to Kwahu by state transport bus. Other expenses Will be personal movement within the Kwahu area (fix cost). Our reliable taxi drivers will always be available to drive you around. Volunteers will always move out with a guide until they've been able to learn the routes in the Kwahu environment. We trust our taxi drivers and they will be there always to escort you to locations of interest. Placement in Obomeng is mostly a walking distance to the Presby or the D/A school. Location farther from obomeng will attract transport cost but you will know more during induction.
