Making the decision to volunteer overseas is a personal one, and for every volunteer there is a unique and individual answer to the question: "Why volunteer abroad?"...... the reward is the satisfaction of serving a cause greater than yourself.
We offer you an unlimited freedom to choose your arrival and departure dates as long as you can go for two weeks or more, to serve a program in Africa. Five different projects, two great countries, one lovely continent, Africa! You are needed here, you are welcomed here with open arms and warm hearts.
Volunteer in one or two of the following projects: Orphanage, Teaching, Disabled center, HIV/AIDS, Healthcare and community work.
Our organization is one that is closest to you when you arrive at the country of work. Because our head office is in Africa. We are with you when you are far from home, when you are on the field of work. We hear you, we support you, we work with you, we walk the talk. Cost of accommodation, feeding and support services are clearly fixed and comparatively cheap because we are concious and respectful that most of our volunteers are students and are also contributing a valuable time of their lives. Quick to state that programs are for all people and ages from 16 years to 65 years. Now, we are able to arrange flight bookings for groups so they pay less than can be found.

Kaylee Byers, volunteer, March 2009 shares a piece:
Kaylee comments "Upon my arrival into Ghana across the Burkinan border, Elghana was immediately in contact with me. As I arrived earlier than scheduled, the organization found me a placement before my scheduled time and met with me personally in Kumasi to explain the details of my placement, which was much appreciated. Additionally, Elghana provided me with a phone for my use while in the project and aid in extending my visa, which, without their help, frankly, would have been a nightmare".

Erin Cannaday, volunteer, January 2009 shares a piece:
Erin comments "Our experience in Ghana was incredible. The country was beautiful, and different than most places I had traveled before. It was also hotter than I have ever been before, but we adjusted! We really loved getting to know the people in Ghana, Gyamfi, Diana and Nana [Elghana staff in charge of volunteers] were so much fun and were so patient with us. They explained situations and people all during the trip, which helped us understand the cultural differences much more and really enjoy what we were seeing and who we were meeting".
