Volunteer Opportunity description

Many children in Ghana along the coastal belt and discovered villages cannot afford to go to school. This means that these areas suffer greatly from illiteracy and its associated problems.

PCN has therefore established a school in these areas to provide free basic education for these children. You would be working alongside local volunteer teachers with children from kindergarten to junior secondary school. One of the school in Osu township currently has approximately 150 children and they are taught in basic subjects such as Mathematics, English, French language, Spanish language, Science, Social skills, Technical skills, Music/songs, Story-telling, paper cuttings, Art/drawing etc. with more children arriving for classes every day.

The schools are in constant needs of volunteers to teach, help control the class and for organize recreational activities. Arrangement of excursions with the children to some of the site seeing places (Traditional tour and Eco-touring) organized for all volunteers during the weekends ( Saturdays and Sundays) or taking a seven to eight itinerary for touring after volunteering for about a month or more. It is also likely that during the daytime you will teach a few children privately, these are likely to be slightly older children but those who have not received any education so do not possess the basic skills of reading and writing.
