About Program
Construction volunteer work is a volunteer building project , which main objective is to help with the ongoing building and renovation projects that are a continuous part of the development program I communities in Ghana.
* There are normally several projects on the go at once ranging from building brand new learning centers from scratch, to helping update existing sites, things like running in power supplies (both solar and electric) and general renovation work are all possible.
* If you are a fully qualified brick layer or plumber, or just want to lend a hand and don't mind getting your hands dirty then this worthwhile project is for you.
Consider your impact: Volunteering abroad can be a rewarding experience for both volunteers and local communities, and at Go Overseas, we believe all volunteers should have the resources to make informed decisions about the type of volunteer project they want to partake in. However, despite best intentions, some organizations offering placements in orphanages may unknowingly place children in danger.
