Program Description
What to do this Year : HELP BUILD A SCHOOL IN GHANA
Join us as a VOLUNTEER to create change where it is most needed. Together, we will immerse in the local culture and lifestyle and build a school with the village of Abetenim. In Abetenim, the children must walk prohibitive distances to access secondary school education. Poverty rate is high, only few families can afford a boarding school. Illiteracy is not the key. By building the school, the children of the village and the surrounding communities can continue their education in their hometown. Take the building CHALLENGE!
Interested? Then, please inquire today!
