Summer 2015 volunteering opportunity in Ghana
6 March 2015
The Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø branch of Students for Kids in International Projects (SKIP Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø), a UK-based, student led charity, is offering students the chance to volunteer in Ghana this summer.
SKIP Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø is partnered with an NGO in rural Ghana, the Hand in Hand Community for mentally and physically disabled children, and is keen to recruit Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø students to volunteer in Ghana from 6 July to 9 August this year.
Volunteering activities
New recruits will have the chance to take part in a variety of projects including setting up a community library, helping out in the summer school and giving health and disability awareness lectures.
You will also have a daily schedule giving them one-on-one time with the children and each volunteer will be allocated a child who they will feed during meal times throughout the five-week programme.
Michelle Hind, Vice Project Coordinator, SKIP Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø, "Volunteers are required to fund their own travel and living expenses
during the programme. The travel costs are the main expense, with flights
costing £600 (approximately).
"This is a fantastic opportunity that is very enjoyable and highly rewarding with volunteers also getting the chance to see wild elephants, swim in waterfalls and go on a canopy walk through the rainforest!"
