They will also read literature and improve the low comprehension level and poor pronunciation of students, provide theoretical and practical assistance and aide the teachers and interact with the students. Typical day involves eating breakfast early morning and then going to teach the students for the first half of the day. After lunch, volunteers will then help other teachers in school and arrange extracurricular activities like games in the school. Evenings and weekends are free time for the volunteer to experience the immense culture of the cities.

Ghana's vibrant cities are renowned for its friendly atmosphere where visitors are always welcomed. It's full of contrasts: from traditional culture and history to modern infrastructure and most of the amenities you would expect from a city.

For example: waterfalls, monkey sanctuary, markets, purple princess designs, mountain biking, drumming school, community based eco-tourism project, Volta river, Pottery village, hotels, Kenta weaving studio and many more.
