Madventurer offer organised expeditions that give you
the opportunity to undertake a wide range of project work
and adventurous travel hand-in-hand.
Working in Ghana is an amazing experience, with its people
considered one of the friendliest in West Africa. You
will be able to get a real feel for African culture and
life as you make your home and live alongside the Ghanaians
in some of the Volta Region villages. It is a country
steeped in tradition where you will be able to experience
many of Ghana's colourfully fun year round festivals,
and join in with the exotic drumming parties on the beach.
Teaching
The mad teacher project is one really big challenge
with one definite aim. The enthusiasm and fresh thinking
you can bring to a school will be of tremendous benefit
to the teachers. It is good to show them a more creative
side to teaching, which will aid them in conveying the
specific knowledge..
Building
The mad building project gives you a chance to really
get stuck in and do some fun, challenging and beneficial
outdoor work. We concentrate on building new school buildings
that would otherwise not be able to be funded by the local
communities. Many of the existing buildings are unsafe,
unsecured or so dilapidated that it is hard to work effectively
in them. You will be led by the experienced local masons
and carpenters, and don’t have to be a 'muscleman'.
Medical
The project will be an excellent opportunity to experience
medicine in a totally different environment to the one
that you have known so far. You will gain increased knowledge
in a variety of medical fields, some rarely witnessed
in the U.K. The enthusiasm and fresh thinking you can
bring to the hospital will be of tremendous benefit to
the nurses who have to battle daily with the task of providing
good medical care in the face of extreme poverty.
Sport
The children take a keen interest in sport and you
will be able to organise classes working alongside the
teaching timetable and in conjunction with the schools.
The children are all keen to learn new activities so if
you have a talent that you wish to use in the village
then inform us on your application and we'll see what
can be done with it.
