Description

”Akwaaba” means welcome to Ghana the land of gold, and the gateway and heart of West Africa! Ghana’s history started almost 2000 years – mainly trade in gold, salt, kola nuts and ivory existed among Ghanaian’s and sub African states, this brought Europeans to the shores of Africa and to the country formerly called Gold Coast.

Samba Africa Voluntary Organization invites you to come on an unforgettable trip to the land rich in history, culture and tradition. Meet Ghanaians – noted for their warmth, hospitality and friendliness. This Program takes place in Kumasi, a historical city of the Ashanti Kingdom of gold during the first 2-weeks of your arrival in Ghana.

Volunteer Activities

Volunteers will experience sites steeped in history and bustling markets with exquisite arts and crafts.

Sambas cultural immersion project offers many volunteers the opportunities to explore the villages and experience the cultural attractions assisting them to obtain knowledge of facts about the local culture and customs.

Participants will also get to know an ancient way of cooking / preparing meals, palm wine tapping, farming with a local host family, joining a community durbar, weaving of the colorful / popular kente cloth. Volunteers will be taking through trip sessions to the nearby villages. Samba Africa Voluntary Organization encourages all volunteers to apply for this project alongside their chosen projects in Ghana. This project would be supervised by a well-trained SAVO staff.
