Details on arrival
Before you even depart, the team will take you through every step of the process, from answering your questions about the program, through to advising you where to go for your visa. We are here to help you and to ensure that you feel totally comfortable (and prepared!) before departing.
Before your project work starts in Ghana, the in-country team will prepare you and give you all the information you need whilst in Ghana. The orientation usually takes place over two mornings and will cover information such as the local area, your tasks within the project and the culture, so that you can settle in well in your new environment.
You will also receive information about how you could spend your free time along with tips on withdrawing money, SIM cards and the history of Ghana. This is also the perfect opportunity to meet other volunteers at the projects and get to know those people you'll be working with over the next few weeks or months.
The project has weekly start dates (with arrivals being taken on Wednesdays/Sunday) all year round. There are a few exceptions around public holidays, so please contact to find out more.
