Placement comes at a minimum charge; volunteers will be living with our host family in Accra. However, volunteers pay $70 per month to support utility bills and other facilities volunteers will use at the host family's residence. Volunteers will be picked up from the airport to the placement area for free. On your arrival, Shadrach will pick you up from the airport. Accommodation, food, and security is free as it is captured in the placement charge. The host family's residence is mostly a walking distance from the Mayflower Beacon School Complex. Location farther from the School will attract transport cost but you will know more during induction. hoping to see you soon!

Volunteers are to come prepared financially, Donations are accepted.
I volunteered in October and it turned out to be very nice - the family is very welcoming and supportive, the students are respectful and encouraging.
I was assigned to do some computer work as well as teach English and ICT. Classes are ~1 hr long. Books are provided in advance for proper preparation but you may choose your own topic.
Every Wed they have prayers at school, every Fri there are games - sports, board games, etc. I brought sports equipment as a gift, so it quickly went into action.
I was lucky to participate in a field trip with Basic 6 - we visited several popular attractions, each came with a guided tour.
The Owusu family kindly shared their house and food with me and accompanied me in my numerous trips across Ghana.
Thank you so much guys for this wonderful experience!
P.S. accommodation situation was a little confusing at my arrival, so better to double check prior arrival that the place is available.
Credit card was useless - 99.5% cash payments everywhere.
