    Om programmet

    Ghana been surrounded by French speaking languages calls for the need for French to be a language in our schools. French language is been thought from lower primary 1 to Junior Secondary. Some of our schools especially the orphanage schools don't have French teachers to help teach it.

    We therefore seek for French speaking volunteers who can come in to either teacher French, assist French teachers or just to play with the children using everyday basic French conversation words as well as helping to explain their French homework. 

    This placement does not need a qualified teacher; anyone who is able to communicate freely in French qualifies for this placement.  

    Once acquainted with the school and the curriculum, volunteers in Ghana get the chance of teaching independently. It is important that volunteers are flexible as there are a number of other tasks they can help with. These might include helping children with their homework, arranging games and activities, cleaning the classroom and assisting teachers with administrative duties.

    It is not compulsory to have prior teaching experience or to have completed formal teacher training to volunteer in Ghana for this program. Volunteers level of involvement within the classroom can be tailored to suit their skills and interests. A willingness to share and an ability to be proactive is important and will make volunteers a valuable addition to any classroom.

    Where will I work

    This placement is available in Accra, Kumasi and Cape Coast. All these locations are safe, secure and friendly to foreigners. Volunteers have the opportunity to choose any of the location and volunteers on long stay of more than a month can do the placement in two different locations.

    Accra is the capital and seat of government, it has  a lot of beaches and lot of shopping mall stock with a lot of foreign products. Kumasi is the second capital and the garden city of Ghana. It has a lot of historic centers and the biggest open outdoor market in West Africa. Cape coast has beaches and also the historic center for slave trade.

    What You Can Bring

    There is a lack of teaching materials at most centres. Volunteers can bring materials like french story books, rhyming books, and pencil colours, crayon, drawing papers, etc. Some of these materials can also be found in the local market for ready purchase. Most importantly you bring a big heart and smile.

    What we expect from you

    You must be passionate about children,  Ready to assist placement staff to take care of children and ability to work with children from all kinds of background and with specific needs and attention.

    What you can expect from us

    Our staff is available to you 24/7 to give any necessary support. We will assign one staff to take care of your needs.

    Who You will Work with

    Volunteers work closely with other teachers and staff and report to the headteacher of the school on assignments and also when you have any issue at the school. Volunteers are also paired with other volunteers if any to work on similar projects.

    How Do I Get to the placement

    For the first day, volunteer will be taken to the school. Our staff  will show volunteer how to get to the placement, the direction to take, the particular vehicle and the amount to pay for the transportation. This is repeated the next day if volunteer thinks he still can't make it until the volunteer can make his/her way. The same is done for the returning to the home-stay after the school ends.

    NOTE: As this program involves working closely with at risk children a four week minimum commitment is required to participate

The selection of a host family will deepen on the information that will be provided on the application form the volunteer will fill and submit. 


    These host families are people who have been investigated and have good record and have good health. There are periodic checks to see if they are still u to standard. The accommodation is part of the program fee.

    Oplysninger ved ankomst

    Volunteers are free to arrive at any day of their choice but we advice volunteers arrive on Fridays or Saturdays, for them to have some rest and settle in before volunteer duties start on Monday. ( Volunteers are also allowed to determine when they want to start upon arrival).  Volunteers can arrive at any time of the day but arriving in the evenings means volunteer will have to spend long time at the airport due to long queue because most  flights arrive in the evening. Therefore volunteers can look for flights that arrives mid morning or early afternoon.

    Our representative will pick up volunteer to the his /her host family's accommodation. 

    This program is all year round and volunteer can extend length of stay upon arrival.

    Mød din vært

    We introduce volunteers to our rich hospitality and culture. Ghana cannot be compared to any other country in Africa,
    We are dedicated to the concept of volunteering within our organisation. We welcome and celebrate the skills, knowledge and passion of people who are committed to making a change. We are proud to be part of their journey of self-discovery – a journey where, we find, the rewards are tangible and memorable.

    SFLIG offers volunteer experiences in many different categories. These include teaching, medical, working with children and creative art centres. Any one of these categories provides the volunteer with countless opportunities to see first-hand the challenges that exist for the less privileged in Ghana and to, more importantly, have a positive impact on the lives of those they meet.

    Mission

    Our mission is to help connect individuals and groups looking for the opportunity to give back to society to the very people who needs their support where both parties benefit. Volunteers experience new culture and life whiles helping to better the lives of the community. 

    Vision

    We envisage a voluntary journey where volunteers discover themselves and receives more than they give.

    Objective

    Our main objective is to mobilise resource to educate and empower the less privilege especially women and girls through volunteering and internship support.
