Work with local people on labor projects to improve health and educational facilities, and teach conversational English, math, science and geography to elementary and secondary students in area schools. Education is considered to be the most effective strategy to combat poverty - long and short term. Your assistance has a tremendous impact on the individual kids, as well as their community and country.

"Ghana was absolutely wonderful. The program there is very well run, and I so enjoyed my teammates, and the village. We were so respected, and appreciated by the chiefs, queen mother, teachers and head masters at the school. The students eagerness to learn is wonderful. Being called 'Madam Liz,' and 'Obroni Grandma' by my students and their teacher touched me deeply. The guest house is very comfortable, the food good, and our team leader assisted everyone with whatever they needed or wanted to accomplish. The total experience was amazing. It's almost impossible to put into words what going and doing these trips means to me. The rewards are so great."
