Useful information to your volunteer programme

Meals and accommodation in Ghana:

Accommodation depends on the placement that you choose. For most tasks, you will be staying with a Ghanaian host family. Generally families host several volunteers at the same time and at least one member of the family speaks English. Contact with the family is usually quite limited and you will have your meals with the other volunteers. For placements in orphanages or hospitals, you may be accommodated directly at your placement.
You will have 3 meals a day for the duration of the programme. The living conditions are adequate but do not expect luxury.
