  Description

  Mr Daniel and Ms. Mary run a Non- governmental organization (NGO) in Cape Coast, Ghana in the Central region.
  Our aim is to assist the needy with quality health care and bond with them by developing relationships.
  
  Miss Mary is a trained nurse and we have a certificate for running our NGO. We are known for our support to vulnerable communities in Cape Coast.
  
  The support offered to them are medical programs such as: blood pressure readings, blood sugar screening, malnutrition screening, proper wound treatments, etc. We also explain to them
  and educate them how these health issues could be life-threatening if not noticed and treated on time. Advice comes from trained health officials and volunteers that come to our NGO.
  
  We also have a local football team that we manage to help grow the talents of some of these teenagers. We also offer Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, which is a martial art and self-defense system that is taught by Mr. Daniel, who was an American soldier. This program equip individuals, including members of the Ghana Police, to help defend themselves and is also a great form of exercise. It definitely keeps us physically and mentally fit!
  
  We have three staff members: Miss Miriam as our secretary, Mr. Mark as our accountant and Miss Leticia as our field instructor.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  Apart from our health care programs, we also take our volunteers
  on-site seeing to famous places such as the castles in Cape Coast and Elmina, which are known as the ancestral home of the slaves. This is a powerful experience, helping visitors understand and feel the impact of slavery in the very place it all began.
  
  Also, the Kakum National Park has a canopy walk that is 350 meters (1,150ft) long and connects to strong trees tops which gives a beautiful view of the forest from the canopy of undisturbed African rain forest. and also your guides that gives
  information on certain trees, plants and their uses, as well as and animals like white
  beasted guninee fowl, hornbill, grey parrots and the African
  elephants.
  
  There are unlimited opportunities for academic lectures, music and dance, and the frequent festivals keep the joyful Ghanians celebrating and dancing in the streets! This festive season is a massive display of rich African culture and climaxes during Orange Friday where the whole Cape Coast is painted in Orange colors.
  
  Cape Coast is well-known for its beautiful beaches and well-cooked local dishes, as well as our own local drink called Palm Wine.
  
  There are well-trained health professionals, (many of them trained in the US and Europe) and professional security officers that make Cape Coast a very safe environment.
  
  You will leave Cape Coast with a lifetime of memories, positive lessons and life-long friendships that will keep you coming back for more.
