What does our organisation offer? Apart from mediating for voluntary work and accommodation, we offer a lot of written information about culture and customs beforehand and, moreover,practical information for your stay in Ghana. Of course you can always reach us by telephone and email. Moreover, you will deal with one contact whom you know and who knows the present situation in Northern Ghana. On arrival in Ghana you will be picked up from the airport, so there is someone there to pick you up and your stay in Accra is arranged. You will then have a full day during which someone will show you the city and will help you book your bus/flight ticket to Tamale. In Northern Ghana you will be supported by the “Africa” Orphanages Organisation team, who are always at your disposal for assistance and for answering your questions. There are separate teams in Tamale and Bolgatanga so that you will never have to travel (cycle) far if you need them.For the first three days you will attend an introductory programme and after that there are bi-weekly meetings during which your questions will be answered and possible problems can be discussed. Moreover, they will introduce you to your host family and voluntary work-place and, should you be interested, they can help you making further contacts with other volunteers in your neighbourhood.
