Area: Ghana, West Africa

Teach English, math, art and science to primary school students in Ghana, West Africa! I am a former Peace Corps volunteer who served in the Ashanti Region of Ghana. Since I left my service in Ghana, my former neighbor and good friend, James, founded a primary school in a small village about 30 minutes outside of Kumasi -It was established in 2007 with only three children attending. Since then, it has grown to a well established, quality alternative school with over 100 kids! At our Primary School, we believe in the power and potential of all children to grow into the leaders of tomorrow and create a better future for Ghana. Our theory of education is participatory and holistic. We encourage children to ask questions, explore, and learn in a way that allows them to unlock their inherent potential and develop into a happy, healthy and successful adult. Our school campus is set in a beautiful garden environment where children not only study traditional academic subjects, they also have the opportunity to learn about their culture, heritage, and the environment that supports it.

I am Freddie and I live in Mbale in Eastern part of Uganda. I work on Radio and TV here and We have an NGO for Rural Young Farmers Our PROJECT THEME is Food security for all. Background: This project was an initiative of five young farmers in Eastern Uganda in the year 2007.This was after a survey carried out that showed suffering youths who had lost hope in their lives. Uganda being 90% an agricultural country with quite a high level of food production but low food security. That is to say most of the people produce for today consumption and they end up forgetting tomorrow. This has been the major reason for food insecurity with in the rural communities of Uganda. We saw it better to help communities through farming. In this project our major target is towards young people as they are the future generation and the most vulnerable stage in society. The youths with their physical ability are a great weapon that can wipe out hunger in communities in eastern Uganda
