You'll tidy their beds, help them change clothes if they're very young, make sure they brush every morning before breakfast and eat properly, drop them to school, help them finish their work and teach them English and other subjects in the evenings. You can also help in the kitchen, clean the orphanage and participate in other activities that your orphanages does to entertain children when they're not attending schools.

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.
