Accomodation and food

Volunteers will stay in a guest house that provides shared accommodations. All volunteers will share a large communal room, with bedding provided for each individual. The guest house offers basic amenities to ensure a comfortable stay, including electricity and running water. There will also be common areas available, such as a living room or outdoor space, where volunteers can gather for group discussions and meetings. The environment is designed to encourage community interaction, providing an opportunity to bond with fellow volunteers while enjoying a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Additionally, the guest house may be located near local attractions or markets, giving volunteers a chance to experience the local culture during their free time

During their stay, volunteers will be provided with meals that showcase local Ghanaian cuisine, offering an authentic cultural experience. The meals typically include a variety of staple foods such as rice, yams, plantains, and maize, often served with flavorful stews or sauces made with vegetables, fish, or meat. Popular dishes may include jollof rice, fufu, banku, and groundnut soup.

Volunteers with dietary preferences or restrictions, such as vegetarian or vegan options, can often be accommodated with prior notice. While the main meals will be provided, volunteers may also have the opportunity to explore local markets and try street food, allowing them to immerse themselves further in the local culture. Additionally, there may be chances for volunteers to help in meal preparation, learning traditional Ghanaian cooking methods and recipes.

Drinking water will be supplied, but volunteers are encouraged to bring their own reusable water bottles and may wish to purchase additional snacks or beverages from local stores during their free time."
