- Volunteer in Africa for Artists and Photographers
- There is a common misconception that the skills needed in a volunteer in Africa are purely conflict and aid-worker focused.

- Help Joshua.wmv

Our younger brother, Joshua, became quadriplegic—paralysed from the neck down—after sustaining severe spinal cord injuries when he fell from a tree he was climbing in September. We are raising funds for him at FundRazr: apps.facebook.com Ghana provides no support services for people with quadriplegia; families must cover all costs related to the care and support of the injured person including diapers, creams, powders, food, support aids like pressure cushions, wheelchairs and any special items needed. There are no home nursing options, no counseling, and no guidance on on how to look after a person with spinal injuries. As home care is not an option, unless funded privately, Jo will be permanently hospitalised as long as he lives. His family's medical costs are approximately $200 per month and we hope to raise funds to cover these costs on an ongoing basis, and purchase items like cushions, neck braces and possibly a movable mattress and wheelchair in future.From: gaylepescudViews: 185
