Into the Volta Ghanaian Adventure

This service adventure is best suited for groups that want an opportunity to effect real social change in a warm and inviting community rich with history and tradition. Since English is the official language of Ghana, this is also a good service program option for those who want to participate in a program without a language barrier. This program offers students the opportunity to participate in several different service initiatives including teaching, participating in book distributions in rural communities, and helping construct vital community infrastructure such as latrines, wells, and school buildings. Volunteers will work side by side with the local villagers to implement these necessary improvements in the community. The experience will provide students with a new perspective on the obstacles that are preventing growth in these rural communities and allow them to practice implementing solutions to these challenges first hand.
