Volunteer Opportunities

1. Volunteer in Moringa Farm

 The  Shape Lives Moringa  Farm is  also  one  of the  place  volunteers  can contribute  their  skills toward  sustainable development  and organic agriculture.  The farm  is  a  Moringa  Plantation. The  volunteers  will  have  the  opportunity  to see  and  study  about  the  “Moringa Wonder Plant”.  Moringa  is  said to  be  the  most  powerful  life  enhancing plant  in the  world. The farm is  located  at Santrokofi- Bume , 6 kilometers north  of Hohoe. 

 

Additional projects for volunteers include:

• Fencing and netting parts of the site
• Planting new seeds and herbs
• Helping to build enclosures
• Creating a display area for seeds and herbs
• Helping with the construction of a rest area for volunteers and planting trees to provide shade.

This project is a fantastic way to help develop sustainable, organic farming techniques while passing on a vital awareness of conservation issues to the new generation of children in Africa.

2) Volunteer in Orphanages

 Overview of the Project

Extreme poverty, growing problems of HIV/AIDS, and different social problems make many kids orphans in Ghana.  These lovely kids are in urgent need of parental help and support. In Ghana , Shape Lives Foundation, does  support many orphanages  through  its  programs to continue  providing the much needed care for  the  orphans. Unfortunately, most of these orphanages are resource poor, under staffed, and are facing lots of problems to run their programs. Help is needed in everything from cooking and serving food to the children, to assisting with their basic education with sports and English lessons.

 

Role of Volunteer

The main responsibility of a volunteer at any of the orphanages is to spend time with the children and give them the attention and love they need. Volunteers will organize games and activities for the children and can help teach in the schools associated with the orphanage. Working in an orphanage requires motivation, energy, patience, and resourcefulness.

 

Skills/Qualifications Needed

There are no specific qualifications required for the orphanage project in Ghana . However, volunteers interested to work for orphans must have love for the kids and willingness to share their time and compassion with patience and high flexibility.
