In the Ghana Teaching program volunteers will have the opportunity to make a lasting difference in Ghananian communities through education while experiencing African culture and life. Opportunities are available in Primary and Secondary schools all over Ghana. However we can arrange for you to teach in a pre-school if that is your preference.
Participating schools can be found in several towns and villages of the following regions in Ghana: Greater Accra, Central, Eastern, Volta and Ashanti.
Subject area that volunteers can teach in include:

Pre-School (4 and 5 year olds)
Language and Literacy, Environmental studies, Creative activities (Music, dance and art), Physical development, Psychosocial skills

Primary (6-11 years)
English, Math, Integrated Science, Environmental Studies, Basic computer skills

Junior Secondary (12-14 years)
English, Math, Integrated Science

18-Jul-2008: Kiki Fornito - Last few days :]

Monday was my LAST day of teaching!!! Therefore, I didn't teach at all. I spent most of my time just sitting with the kids and talking and talking and talking. I would just let them ask me questions about anything. All I wanted to do was get them to know me better. I couldn't give enough hugs or take enough pictures to satisfy me though. :( I couldn't believe that 5 weeks were over... It was bizar...
