Experience traditional African culture and village life and make a difference in the lives of children. 

Ghana is often called the heart and soul of West Africa because of its welcoming, passionate, and peaceful people.  Come discover the Volta Region of Ghana, an area well known for its traditional African religion, kente cloth weaving, storytelling, drumming, and dancing. The northern part of the region is mountainous with lush tropical forests, and large natural reserves are home to monkeys and hundreds of species of birds and butterflies.  It is a particularly important place, because it is where many African-Americans can trace their roots.  Besides volunteering to help local children, you will immerse yourself in the vibrant African culture and visit the historic slave forts on Cape Coast.
