Cultural exchange and local hospitality in Sekondi-Takoradi, Ghana

  Description

  🌍✨ Welcome to Takoradi, Ghana! ✨🌍
  
  I host volunteers who want to experience real Ghanaian culture while making a difference. We have opportunities in two local schools (teaching English, maths, arts, or sports) and on a community poultry farm (helping with animal care and small-scale farming).
  
  Here you’ll not only support our community, but also discover the famous Takoradi Masquerade Festival (Ankos) in December, explore beautiful beaches, and learn Ghanaian cooking, drumming, and dance. Volunteers become like family — sharing culture, food, and experiences together.
  
  If you’re positive, open-minded, and eager to learn, we’d love to welcome you! 💛

  Learn Ghanaian cooking 🍲: try your hand at preparing local dishes like jollof rice, banku, fufu, and light soup.
  
  Practice or learn local languages 🗣️: such as Fante and Twi, in addition to English.
  
  Enjoy West African music and dance 🥁💃: take part in drumming, singing, and dance, which are an important part of our culture.
  
  Discover daily life in schools and on farms: see how education and agriculture are done in Ghana, which may be different from what you are used to.
  
  Explore nature and history 🌴⛵: visit beaches, markets, and historic sites in the Western Region, and enjoy the warmth of the Ghanaian people.

  Weekends and evenings are free, so you can relax, explore Takoradi, or connect with locals.
  
  Internet access is available in the city, but may not always be as fast as you’re used to.
