These children live in the streets under harsh conditions. The society also looks down upon them. Some children who have lost their parents also choose to come to the streets and lead their lives with alms. rnrnThe project aims to provide an opportunity for these needy children to live and learn under one roof until they are adopted or placed with family members who can take better care of them. rnrnMost of the orphanages in the Volta Region are resource poor, under staffed, and are facing lots of problems to run the home. The orphanage needs extra pairs of hands to help with the day-to-day running of the project with works like cleaning, cooking and serving food to the children. Volunteers are also required to provide some basic English education to the children, and organize physical and sports lessons and assist the staff in counseling the children. rnrnRole of Volunteer rnrnThe job responsibilities of orphanage volunteers in Ghana depend on the need of the orphanage as well as the skills and interests of the volunteers.
