Our partner projects have all been set up by members of the local community, and all volunteering work is led by them. We respond to their needs in the most effective way possible, by providing volunteers and financial aid to boost their development. By using this model of volunteering, we ensure that the work our volunteers do is meaningful and impactful.

A typical day of volunteering runs as follows:

- In the morning, you'll enjoy breakfast at our volunteer house before heading to one of our partner schools to assist with teaching, sports coaching, or building and renovation work.

- You'll break for lunch, during which you can relax in the shade or play with the children at the school.

- After lunch, you'll continue with your volunteering until approximately 3:30pm, when you'll be picked up by our in-country staff and taken back to your accommodation to freshen up.

- Before and after dinner, you can relax at your accommodation, or enjoy an afternoon activity as arranged with your Trip Host. Activities may include visiting a local market, relaxing at the beach, or exploring the local area.

This trip also includes an adventure activity at the weekend, which typically runs as follows:

- On the first day, your group will travel north, close to the famous Lake Volta, where you will begin your walking tour of a protected monkey sanctuary and feed bananas to Mona and Black-and-white Colobus monkeys.

- In the evening, you will check into a hotel for dinner, after which you can relax and watch the sun set.

- The next day, your group can choose to follow a rainforest trail to Wli Falls, or hike up Mount Afadjato. Although it only takes a couple of hours to ascend, Mt Afadjato is Ghana’s highest peak!

- After your exertions, it will be time to return to your accommodation and our partner projects in Woe.
