G-lish Foundation is a registered non-government organisation (NGO) in Ghana that operates an international volunteer program which helps contribute

to development in rural Africa. To fully address the needs of communities in which we work, most of which are poor and marginalized from society, we focus on sustainable social entrepreneurship. While some activities generate profits, our main aim is to grow G-lish to reach more people in need. Thus, profits are reinvested in G-lish to fund expansion and non income-generating activities essential to development such as conflict resolution, health, education, youth-based, and environmental projects. G-lish Foundation therefore seeks volunteers and interns who wish to apply their talents in innovative volunteer projects in Africa and gain valuable work experience in the process.

How does G-lish work?

We are a registered NGO in Ghana governed by a group of accomplished board members with a diverse range of experience both in Ghana and internationally. We are also social entrepreneurs. Our motto is: Income Generation, Re-Generation, Next Generation, hence the G in G-lish, our language. Volunteering with G-lish Foundation in Africa will give you an opportunity to use your skills and share your experience to truly make a difference. You will not only feel a great sense of achievement from your volunteer experience, you will also gain valuable work experience in Africa. After you return home from your volunteer abroad experience, you will be able to add your volunteering achievements to your CV and, if you are a student, you may gain university/college credit. We are happy to communicate with your supervisors so that you can receive credit for your volunteer work in Ghana . We can also arrange references upon successful volunteer project completion. See our sample volunteer position on the next page. We tackle the causes of poverty from multiple angles working with communities to achieve reductions in real poverty levels. Three es underpin our approach: environment, economics, and equitya sustainable approach for current and future generations. When you share your energy and skills volunteering with G-lish in Ghana, you can be sure your efforts will help bring about lasting social, economic and environmental change in some of the most marginalised communities in Ghana.

Volunteer Abroad Projects

Our international volunteer projects in Africa deliver practical solutions and are tailored to suit each volunteers skills and experience. Each volunteer project includes goals and activities to help carry out G-lishs core programs.

Sample International Volunteer Project Outline. This is a snapshot of a volunteer project created for an artist volunteer for our
Arts Development Program. Your project description will be tailored to suit your skills set, skill level and experience.

Volunteer Name: Jane Wilson Dates: 15th December 2011 7th February 2012 Project: Artists Development Program We produce recycled baskets using traditional basket weaving techniques. However, we are keen to develop art work for sale in galleries overseas. We are seeking ways to experiment with materials and with traditional techniques to create art that has potential to generate income in our villages and beyond. Volunteer Abroad Position: Our artists program will provide the foundation for capacity building and income generation in our weaving communities, and we are excited you will be joining us to help us deliver this program in Ghana. New artworks design and creation: You will spend time with our basket weavers, learning how to weave a basket and observing the techniques to familiarise yourself with the process of creation. Under the guidance of one of our basket weavers and your project manager, you can experiment with materials while you sit together and sketch potential art work styles which the weaver can develop with your direction, experimenting as you go. There are many possibilities for artwork creation so were excited to have your skills and expertise to help develop and refine this exciting project. Identifying potential artists: Many of our basket weavers are highly creative and have a natural eye for colour and balance. We appreciate your input on identifying craftspeople that show strong potential for artist creation as well. We will hold workshops where you will work with individuals, supported by our project managers, to help identify those with potential to become artists and lead this exciting development in our core villages. Photographs: We like to document all our activities for our supporters so we may need your help to take photographs as well. If our film volunteer arrives during your stay, you might work together to create a short film about the development of the Artists Program. Continued a typical Volunteer Project Outline is two A4 pages long.

Volunteer Abroad Dates

G-lish Foundation operates a year-round volunteer program in Africa. Projects last from 3-16 weeks but we have long-term positions as well.

We have waiting lists for busy periods should a space become available after a cancellation.

Core Career Paths

Our international volunteer positions suit: accountants, consultants, writers, artists, designers, IT gurus, marketers, researchers, conflict resolution practitioners, natural therapists, nurses, conservationists, horticulturists, climate change specialists, teachers, photographers, film-makers, special needs educators, occupational therapists, speech and language pathologists.

About Volunteer Travel in Ghana

Ghana is exceedingly vibrant, fun, and friendly. Although poor, Ghana is peaceful and is ranked as the third most peaceful nation in Africa (2011higher than some western nations) on the Global Peace Index. Ghana has plenty of national parks, waterfalls, beaches, mountains, lakes, UNESCO heritage sites, drumming, dancing, craft markets, nightclubs, ecolodges, elephants, antelope, and cheeky monkeys to keep you happily busy during your free time away from volunteering. English is the official language: national administration, education, television, radio and newspapers are in English and some indigenous languages too.

Local Features
You can explore Ghana during your time off from your volunteer abroad project. SWOPA: Sirigu Womens Organisation for Pottery and Art is 40 minutes by local transport from Bolga and is a popular attraction in the north of Ghana. SWOPA is famous for the geometrically-painted mud-brick compounds in the style of northern Ghana and for gorgeous and very inexpensive local pottery as well as the guest house and village walking tours. Even former UN Secretary-General, Kofi Annan stopped by for a visit. They have several guest huts in traditional style, and a guest dorm with a flat roof that you can sleep on if its hot or if you like to experience sleeping under the stars. The endless Baobabs and rolling savannah of this region make you feel like you've arrived in Africa.

Elephants, Hippos and Beyond

Were 7 hours by public transport from Mole National Park which is great as it takes at least two days to get there from the south of Ghana by bus. You can easily spend a couple of days at Mole National Park watching elephants swimming in the lake; they might even visit you up on the escarpment. You will see monkeys and baboons and many species of birds and antelope. We have friends in Tamale, the main town to Mole, who can help you out on your travels there. The Paga crocodile pondswhere you can sit astride the crocs!-and a huge old mud-brick Catholic cathedral built by missionaries in the 1920s with frescoes painted on its interior walls are about an hour outside our project. Weichau hippo sanctuary is easy to get to from Bolga as well. We also have friends in the main town, Wa, who can help direct you to the village. The best time to see hippos is in the dry season when theyre more exposed. There is a string of brilliant, eco-villages between Bolga and the south of Ghana which you can explore on your journey south. And, many visitors take advantage of the proximity to Mali by travelling across the border from Bolgatanga to Ouagadougou, the capital of Burkina Faso, and then on to Mali and Timbuktu.

Below: The SWOPA guest house ,the painted mud-brick villages near G-lishs project in the Upper East Region. Spending the weekend here is an unforgettable experience.

Travelling south from G-lish's volunteer project in Bolga is easy as there are direct coaches to Cape Coast and Takoraditwo key points for travelling to beaches along the coast, and also to Accra, the capital: you can go straight up or down in a day. Our founders lived in Cape Coast for several years and travelled to almost every major beach and can give you directions if youre planning to beach-hop or hang out at beaches for a whilewe thoroughly recommend thisand also visit the major attractions in the south like Kakum canopy walk, Elmina Castle or further west to Nzulezo Stilt Village. Our founders have also lived in Kumasi and can give you tips if you plan to spend time there or visit Lake Bosumtwi which is quite spectacular and worth the trip. Its one of our favourite places and we may well head there while youre staying with G-lish volunteers are welcome to catch a ride.

G-lish Foundation Volunteer Abroad Fees

Why volunteer fees? Volunteer fees help cover G-lish Foundations operating costs so that we can continue to carry out projects and activities in our main program areas in Ghana. Fees help cover programs such as tree planting and the Tree Bank Project, and programs that dont generate their own income such as conflict resolution and health training, working with schools in Green Clubs projects and with special needs children. Volunteer fees help us grow. They help cover the gap between the time we pay producers and the time we receive payments from customers, which can be a gap of several months. Fees therefore allow us to cover costs, to produce more baskets and to work with more rural families and more weaving communities. Volunteer fees help us better fulfil our mission to create income generation streams for women and youth in impoverished rural communities and to regenerate the degraded environment. Thank you for considering G-lish Foundation!
Below: a selection of typical scenes from our basket weaving communities in Bolga. Youll meet many of these women and children when you come to volunteer.

Stay in a village part

Your Volunteer Accommodation

Your accommodation is in our houses in our volunteer project locations. Our homes have large living rooms stocked with books and magazines, a kitchen, bedrooms, one bathroom for each bedroom, and mosquito nets. Volunteers have bicycles to explore the relatively flat region by bike. If you would like to stay with a Ghanaian host family, please let us know. We have two wonderful families who have experience working with and hosting foreigners who are happy to host our volunteers. Staying with a host family will cost an additional US$120 per month. Let us know in advance. Both families have a Mum and Dad, children who either attend school, university or are working with NGOs that we sometimes partner with. All housing is located minutes off the main road in local villages where youll encounter a mix of modern houses and traditional mud-brick dwellings. At night youll fall asleep to the sounds of crickets and frogs. Stargazing is encouragedwe see falling stars and zooming satellites nightly!

Left: a child looks after a younger childcommon practice in Ghana, a young girl heading to the bore hole to fetch water, one unlucky boy pulling two others to the bore hole to get a drum and jerry cans of water. Relax indeed. All houses are fancy by Ghana standards, although simple by western, and are situated in large compounds where you will experience life in a modern, but rural Ghana. We have mango trees so between April-June you can walk out and pick juicy, sweet mangoes straight from the tree!

When to volunteer abroad with G-lish? Whatever time of year, there is always something happening: festivals, funerals (big events!), and grassroots volunteer projects! For a quieter experience: SeptemberMay. The busiest months are June August, the northern hemisphere summer.

What makes a good volunteer abroad in Africa? In our experience, age, gender, work experience and nationality have less to do with volunteer success in Africa or how well you cope once you arrive, than do personal outlook and attitude. Those volunteers who seem most fulfilled are apt to embrace change, have a willingness to do whats needed (sometimes outside the scope of their volunteer project) and to look on the bright side of situations. Being flexible is essential because conditions in Africa in general are unpredictablepower cuts, for one! Volunteers who draw on the breadth of their life experience, and who understand that progress takes time, are also likely to have a fulfilling international volunteer experience. Essentially, helpful qualities of volunteers abroad are: flexibility, determination, commitment, compassion, being non-judgmental, sense of humour, and patience. You dont have to be the most mindful, patient or determined person on earth, but a little of each helps. For example, being on time is not valued in Ghana (or broader Africa) so people often arrive late to meetings, which means we simply schedule meetings ahead of the intended start time. Dealing with frustration helps if you can have a laugh. Ghanaians love a joke and laughing is part of the culture, so you will find many opportunities to relax and share a smile while volunteering in our project communities.

Ghana is Fun! Fun is considered almost a dirty word when people think of Africa. Ghanaians, however, will joke, laugh and tease each other at the first opportunity. This is one of the most surprising things that volunteers mention: It was so much fun! Most westerners just dont associate the idea of fun with Africa and its really hard to explain this to family and friends when you return home. We often feel the media has done a great disservice to Africa in neglecting to show a real and joyful side of a vibrant continent. Another surprise for most volunteers is meeting other international volunteers. Chances are that youre like minded and will naturally click with each other. You will probably make great friendships that endure long after returning home. We know many volunteers who met in Ghana and visited in other countries together, as well as back home.

Awards: We were happily surprised when G-lish Foundation won a SEED Initiative Award in 2010, not least because we
understand that SEED received over 600 applications and awarded just 30 winners globally, including G-lish Foundation. In SEEDs words: The SEED Initiative identifies and supports promising small scale social and environmental entrepreneurs around the globe, entrepreneurs that, while working towards a greener economy, also tackle poverty, marginalisation and social exclusion. G-lish benefited enormously from the award. We received in person training from a specialist SEED trainer who helped clarify our strengths, weaknesses and opportunities. We have been exposed to a wonderful network of past and present winners and supporters around the world, as well as other partnership opportunities. The award helped us scale up production to 50 baskets / month which requires a cash flow of over $1000 in payments which we could not have achieved without SEED support. We employed staff to help with scaling up production and now work with over 47 producers, hundreds of school children and two Community Based Organisations as well as partners in Ghana and supporters abroad. Weve planted 500 trees and consumed just over 107,000 plastic drinking water bags since we began producing in late 2009.

Applying for the Award

The award required an in-depth written application addressing specific social, economic and environmental criteria for sustainable development under the SEED Initiative. Applicants also provided financial data showing past spending, and a five-year forecast using the UNDP budget format: 20+ pages of financial analysis, strengths and weaknesses across operations. After we made the short-list, we were then asked several detailed questions about G-lish operations. We also provided four references from partners. After this the committee selected winners. We then provided another budget for the award of US$5000 and evidence of spending for this. More recently we provided final reports on our spendinga requirement for receiving the award. We felt the scrutiny was excellent and we appreciated the opportunity to demonstrate our credentials to the SEED Initiative .

SEED is sponsored by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). Other SEED partners are the United Nations Development Programme; International Union for Conservation of Nature, and the governments of Germany, India, the Netherlands, Norway, South Africa, Spain, the United Kingdom and the USA.

More About G-lish Foundation

Godwin Yidana (Ghana) and Gayle Pescud (Australia) founded G-lish Foundation after observing the urgent need for income generation in the northern part of Ghana and realising they had the skills and experience to to make it work. Together with basket makers, they experimented with recycled materials in 2009 and discovered they could produce beautiful, market-ready products using traditional weaving techniques: an innovative, replicable and sustainable way to generate income and lay the foundation for sustainable development projects in rural Ghana. Godwin Yidana I struggled from a childhood of extreme poverty in rural Bolgatangawhere we now workto graduate with BA Honours from the University of Cape Coast in Population and Family Life. You will see the Baobab tree that served as my primary school where I sat on rocks with my classmates to learn when you come to volunteer. I did my national service at UCCs Department of Geography during which time I lectured in several subjects. I also helped get two NGOs get off the ground and worked with international volunteers from the USA with NGOs while a student at UCC. I also volunteered with the West Africa Aids Foundation on HIV Aids counseling and sensitization. After we returned to Bolga, I was surprised when I discovered that we could make baskets from recycled plastic drinking water bags and colourful scrap fabric. I motivated the first group of basket makers to try making recycled basketsthey were reluctant at first. I am so happy to be here and be making a difference, using my skills and experience where it matters. Gayle Pescud I had been working in international Japanese business for ten years in both Government (oil exploration) and corporate (trade) entities when the tsunami hit Asia in 2004. It was the aftermath of the tsunami that made me want to volunteer abroad. One month later I made the decision to volunteer in AfricaI couldnt locate Ghana on a map back then. I fell in love with Ghana and spent eleven months volunteering in Ghana between 2005-2006. I was then fortunate to secure a position managing two large projects in South East Asia for Traidcraft, the UKs largest fair trade organisation, in Cambodia, Vietnam and the Philippines until mid-2007. I was asked to return and work in Ghana where I managed the Cape Coast office of a USA/Ghanaian fair trade craft production NGO to early 2009. During that time I met Godwin. We moved to the north of Ghana in 2009 when we discovered we could make recycled baskets. Between Godwin, the weavers and I, we developed salable, sustainable products. The rest, as they say, is history.

But! We still have a long way to go. We would love you to join G-lish in Ghana, to be part of this history, to join the revolution of change-makerspeople doing something for others.

Whats the difference between an intern and a volunteer abroad? Interns are usually in high school or college and undertake an internship to gain work experience and receive study credit. Volunteers are generally post-schooling, are working or are retired and have more in-depth experience in one or more fields. If you wish to intern, however, we can develop your project accordingly.

Reasons to volunteer in Ghana: Work in Ghana, Africa is highly sought after among those interested in humanitarian and development work. Becoming an international volunteer in Ghana is one of the best ways to taste life and work in Africa before committing to a career. If you're interested in working in Africa, we recommend volunteering in the field in which you wish to work abroad to find out whether it is really for you. Volunteer jobs and volunteer opportunities are many, but there is a big difference between the types of volunteer programs that many organisations offer. A volunteer job can involve anything from writing to photography to health or environmental work abroad. If you want to work abroad, you could do worse than testing the waters as an international volunteer. Finding jobs abroad is easier than ever, thanks to the hundreds of job search sites. If you're interested in working abroad, especially in development work, start at G-lish Foundation, volunteering in Ghana. Our volunteer programs are designed to give you a great chance to immerse yourself in rural and urban life in Ghana, to maximise your ability to make a difference in your chosen project area, and to support G-lish's efforts to grow as an organization. Our volunteering programs allow you to design a volunteer program that suits your skills and interests. We have several intern-ships abroad opportunities, particularly in art, design, fair trade, eco-tourism, finance, environment, teaching and forestry. Most small businesses in developing countries do not think about their market, but rather about what they can offer, whether there is a market for their product or service, or even if that market is already saturated. Helping these business owners make the most of what they have, or expand their businesses into new areas by analyzing the market, is a great opportunity for those with marketing experience or for marketing students volunteering in Ghana. As social entrepreneurs in Africa, we encourage our volunteers to assist small businesses increase their capacity while volunteering with us in Ghana. Many developing nations have rich artistic or crafts heritages and now leverage this to create products to sell locally or by export. As part of this effort, volunteer designers and volunteer artists are needed to help craft promotional materials or even to develop new products. It may be that a brochure is needed to showcase the products, or packaging design is needed or even a new street sign. Perhaps illustrations of potential products are also required. Excellent illustration, whether by hand or on computer, will always be welcomed in artistically oriented organizations. Whether a student, a hobbyist, or a professional artist or designer, there is a home for all skill levels and abilities somewhere in the developing world.
