Cultural exchange and local hospitality in Sekondi-Takoradi, Ghana

Detalhes

  Descrição

  🌍✨ 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! 💛
