GNG volunteers will work alongside experienced teaching professionals to help deliver lessons and mentor groups of students, helping to improve the education and support offered to children attending the schools. Volunteers can bring their own experience, skills and creativity to the after school clubs held at the school for all students. Cultural activities including drumming, singing, dancing, poetry and other artistic expressions are used to create awareness & social integration among children and the youth. Volunteers are also needed to work on crucial construction work of permanent brick classroom buildings to ensure the longevity and sustainability of the schools and other community resources.<\/p>\n

GHANA COMMUNITY SPORTS DEVELOPMENT PROJECT<\/strong><\/p>\n
Sport is essential for a healthy and fulfilling lifestyle. It is crucial for a child\u2019s development, teaching core values like respect and co-operation and also has the capability to bring individuals and communities together, bridging ethnic and cultural divides<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
HOW CAN VOLUNTEERS HELP?<\/strong><\/p>\n
GNG volunteers will assist in PE classes at the GNG community schools, teaching football (soccer), field hockey, basketball, netball, lawn & table tennis, beach soccer and swimming to help develop health and core values for the children at the school. As well as teaching during school hours, volunteers will hold after school sporting clubs for the schools & surrounding communities and ultimately competitive tournaments championing community spirit within this area. Additionally, volunteers will work on beach maintenance and safety, helping with essential shore clearing, lifeguard duties and conducting swimming lessons for the children and adults of the community. $\"305118_10151163183910700_426346681_n\"$ <\/p>\n

If you have any experience of sports coaching or education and water safety your help is needed. During work on this project, volunteers will gain experience in sport education, sustainable human development, health, conservation, community development and team leadership.<\/p>\n

Volunteer with GNG and you will get to work with some of Africa\u2019s friendliest people. Ghana has stunning beaches and scenery but it is the warmth of the people and their vibrant culture that will take your breath away. Our projects are all currently based in the Greater Accra Region<\/p>\n
Medic volunteers contribute dependent upon their skill-set. Qualified professionals with the correct permits (to be obtained in advance) can practice their professions.\u00a0Unqualified volunteers or those in medical training can assist local staff in their area of interest. \u00a0Please note that those with no medical training or knowledge can shadow staff and get involved with non invasive aspects of medical work and patient care.<\/p>\n
The relatively few medical facilities in this region of Ghana cater for numerous out \/ in-patients every year.\u00a0The hospitals carry out a range of procedures from diagnosis and treatment of everyday illnesses, to the care and respite of long-term HIV\/AIDs sufferers.\u00a0They run emergency departments, responding to local accidents and crises, as well as maternity wards and theatres offering basic surgeries. The hospitals serve the large population of the region, extending out further along the coast, where other medical facilities are sparse for some distance.<\/p>\n
What is the need for this Internship?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
The hospitals\u2019 needs are two-fold; hands-on assistance from medical professionals and donor support towards improving services.\u00a0The first of these can be provided in the form of volunteers including trained medical professionals being received to support the hospitals work and share skills with its local employees. The hospitals have been supporting volunteers who are training towards medical qualification, allowing them to work alongside local staff and learn from them.\u00a0 Volunteers without relevant qualifications but with an interest in a medical field, or in training, have also been assisting local staff and learning from them in the hospitals.<\/p>\n
About this role and benefits to the Intern<\/strong><\/p>\n
Medical volunteers will contribute dependent upon their skill-set, qualified professionals with the correct permits (to be obtained in advance) can practice their professions.\u00a0 Unqualified volunteers or those in medical training can assist local staff in their area of interest.<\/p>\n
Volunteers have the chance to experience a different medical setting to that they would typically find at home.\u00a0 Trainee medical professionals will receive support from local staff in furthering their development towards qualification.<\/p>\n
Based on the sandy beaches of Greater Accra, volunteers will be working and living on one of Africa\u2019s most idyllic coastlines.<\/p>\n
Living and flight costs must be covered by the Intern and each intern must fundraise a minimum amount for the GNG Foundation dependant on the duration of their placement. You can find out more by looking on our DATES & COSTS page<\/em><\/p>\n
