Volunteer Adventurer, Youth Travel & Development Exchanges (YUDES), Accra, Ghana

 Description

The volunteer will have the exclusive advantage of combining a cultural 
immersion programs with benefits from an eco-adventure travel to some of 
Ghana's most interesting tourist sites. These include the Cape Coast Castle, the 
Kakum National Park with its mind blowing Canopy Walkway right within the 
middle of this equatorial rain forest, the Mole National Park with its huge 
African elephants, hippos, pythons, crocodiles and many more.

This program includes the following:

Teaching English, providing education & support for PLWHAs
* Support for the local community in areas such as construction of school 
blocks, hospitals etc.
* Care for orphans and vulnerable children. The volunteer will have the 
opportunity to experience the true Ghanaian hospitality which embedded in our 
culture rather than acquired through training and formal education.

 Requirements 

The Volunteer only needs to speak English and be adaptive to local 
conditions e.g. the slower pace in getting things done in Ghana as compared to the 
advanced countries.
