Volunteers on the Ghana Refugee program will be working with the organization Children Better Way. They will have the opportunity to work with children of all ages, teaching English, math, science, and other subjects. Most of the children do not to go to a formal school, as school fees are outrageously high and most adults cannot afford them, so the volunteers may be teaching classes to them during the day, and in the late afternoon or early evening, volunteers will be tutoring and or helping with the homework assignments for the children who can afford to go to school.

In addition volunteers will participate in an array of recreational activities for the children, inspiring creativity and self-esteem. There is also opportunity for those with a health background to educate children and adults about personal hygiene, HIV/Aids, pregnancy, etc. In addition, volunteers with an environmental background or just an interest in this area can work with CBW developing sanitation programs and cleanup campaigns for the camp.
