I volunteered in October and it turned out to be very nice - the family is very welcoming and supportive, the students are respectful and encouraging. I was assigned to do some computer work as well as teach English and ICT. Classes are ~1 hr long. Books are provided in advance for proper preparation but you may choose your own topic. Every Wed they have prayers at school, every Fri there are games - sports, board games, etc. I brought sports equipment as a gift, so it quickly went into action. I was lucky to participate in a field trip with Basic 6 - we visited several popular attractions, each came with a guided tour. The Owusu family kindly shared their house and food with me and accompanied me in my numerous trips across Ghana. Thank you so much guys for this wonderful experience! P.S. accommodation situation was a little confusing at my arrival, so better to double check prior arrival that the place is available. Credit card was useless - 99.5% cash payments everywhere.
