My time at the School was short but sweet, spending one month there in total. Having spent just under a year in Ghana already, I enjoyed further exploring a Ghanaian academic environment with interesting conversations with friendly teachers daily and from what I learnt from my observation in classes. My time alone in classes consisted of an open… read more

Enci was very active volunteer also, the children liked her a lot, maybe because she is a psychologist.
the 3 of them (Enci', Alberttine, and Andrea) who were there matches very well, they coordinated affairs among themselves and make things work perfectly.

This was my very first workaway experience and also my first time in Africa and I couldn’t have asked for anything better! I spent 2 and a half months there, but I would go back anytime in a heartbeat. Levi was really helpful from the moment I texted him until the day I left Ghana, he’s usually not at the school but always ready to help out with… read more

Firstly the positive side: Levi, the contact person for the volunteer work, is a very good guy! Totally friendly, committed, accommodating, simply great. Unfortunately, his work is mostly remote from the school, he works full-time in a building materials store that is somehow related to the school. He gave me great tips for excursions, invited me… read more to visit his sisters in the Volta Delta and also to his home. Thanks to him, I got to know more about Ghana.
At the actual place of work things for me got more difficult. It is the 'Wrights International School', a private school 1st to 9th grade with a well-heeled clientele, two kilometres from Levi's building materials store. After all the almost euphoric reviews posted for this host, I had imagined it would be easier as it turned out to be. Almost 1000 € flight costs, plus 150 for the visa, plus 100 registration fee for the school are a lot of money - maybe I would have preferred to spend it differently if I had known beforehand what I know now.
Everyone is really nice and friendly there, and the amount of work expected is very manageable. I only had to teach for one or two hours each day and was otherwise offered to observe as much as I wanted. As there was no German teacher at the time of my visit, four weeks in February 24, there were no German lessons on the programme for me, but 'general assistance'. Now the lessons here are very teacher-centred, classic frontal teaching - I never really realised what my 'assistance' role was supposed to be. I felt welcome everywhere, but never really wanted or invited, and I mostly just sat there in silence. When I went into action, I was often afraid of being overbearing towards the teaching staff.
And for the lessons I had to give, for which I was completely free to choose my topic, I found many of them really difficult. I usually had to teach in seven different classes for 60 Minutes per week, and in all cases exept the first one I had to do it alone, without any assistance of regular teachers. I am a teacher myself with more than ten years of professional experience, so perhaps other volunteers are not offered this.
Discipline is very strongly enforced at the school. There are lots of rules and many punishments for breaking the rules, and there are often painful beatings with the school ruler. I had no stick and no possibility of punitive measures. And for me I found the discipline necassary for teaching in all classes to be almost subterranean. Shouting, running in class, having fights, very little concentration, very little listening, pupils mostly speaking with such a low voice I almost could not understand them! I think my lessons were good, interrupted with plays and music and picture viewing, and pupils seemed to like it, as they often asked me to come. But nevertheless I often left class drenched in sweat and was glad I had done it.
And so I suspect there is a connection between the high discipline that is literally imposed to pupils in normal lessons and the very low level of internal, self-guided discipline among the pupils when I was teaching.
And I didn't have the feeling that I could talk openly about these issues with any of the teaching staff. Nobody ever asked about my experiences. Only with the very friendly cook there was always an interesting exchange of ideas.
Apart from that: the accommodation for the volunteers is in a 18m²-room on the 2nd floor of the school. I was the only volunteer at the time, so I had the room to myself. When all three beds are occupied, it gets pretty cramped I think. And the food - some reviews were almost euphoric in their praise - is, well, OK. Mostly rice with a dollop of sauce, sometimes with a small piece of meat, or spaghetti with a few vegetables. But vegetables are very rare, and there was never any salad. So it's not going to be famous.
Nevertheless it was an interesting experience. I got to know a lot about myself, also about my shadow-sides. And I found enough time to read several interesting books, or listen to them, so I do not regret anything. More details on https://georgsreiseblog.com

I spent about two and a half months at the school as a General Volunteer. I got to help out in various areas - I assisted in classes, led classes myself, and helped out in the kitchen with serving lunch to the kids. But the activity I enjoyed the most with the kids was teaching them how to crochet. The children are so amazing, I miss sitting… read more

I shared a room with two other volunteers and a teacher. After only a few days the place felt like home and the people like family - it was indeed hard to say goodbye!

I had a really good time at the school. I stayed for almost a month, right before the school ended the term. I was allowed to help to supervise the exams, go to classes from time to time and to take part in the graduation. Everyone made me feel at home (especially the kitchen staff) and made my stay memorable. I learned a lot about cooking,… read more
