Page 4 of 5 Volunteer in GhanaAs a volunteer in Ghana, you will gain unparalleled access to a country that is rich with the traditions of West African culture. Volunteers in Ghana quickly learn that at the heart of this culture lies a strong sense of family and cultural roots and an appreciation for taking a moment to visit with others. Ghanaians are well-known for being welcoming, enjoying conversation and exchanging ideas with others. Volunteering abroad is a life-changing experience. You are sharing your enthusiasm, time, skills, and energy — and giving "yourself" in a way that allows you to effect positive change. Making a difference can be as simple as spending time with orphans, sharing love and affection, sharing stories and photos with the elderly in a community, or practicing basic English with students of all ages.
