Over het programma

Come and join Percy Jackson, a teacher who went viral for teaching his students through dance. His methods gained a lot of attention. Help him make an impact!

The program is separated in a teaching (through dance) part and an after school dance class. The classes are often very large (> 40 pupils). Many students don't get the attention and support which are necessary. Initially, the volunteers support the teachers with their work. After some time to get ...

Over het programma

The program is separated in a teaching (through dance) part and an after school dance class. The classes are often very large (> 40 pupils). Many students don't get the attention and support which are necessary. Initially, the volunteers support the teachers with their work. After some time to get used to everything, own school lessons can be designed. In general, the subjects English, Mathematics and General Natural Sciences are taught by the volunteers. However, exact details can be discussed with those responsible. Through the support of the volunteers, the teacher are relieved and the pupils get more attention. In addition, the volunteers should help to identify gifted children so that You4Ghana can support them financially if necessary.

On some afternoons during the week, Percy gives dancing lessons to his students and anyone else interested. They rehearse dancing choreographies which are presented at several events. Join the group and feel free to create your own choreography.

It is up to you to decide whether you want to join Percy during his classes or later for the dancing lessons or both. If you don't like teaching you can combine the dancing lessons with any other of our projects free of charge. It is also possible to only do the dancing party and taking the rest of the day off. Talk to us so we can find a schedule that suits you!


Here is a description written by Percy Jackson himself:

*The Dance Project with Students*

Dancing with students build teacher pupil relationship, confidence, self esteem, self capability and reduce truancies in school. We don’t only work on dance with students but all talents. I use dance as a method of teaching Mathematics, English etc. It is hard to explain in a few sentences but you can check out YouTube or Instagram to get a better insight into my methods. Search for Percy Jackson Ghana.

*Our Dance Academy*

G.D.T (Generate Dance with Treasure) Academy is a way to dance and stay fit for people of all ages, shapes and sizes. Note that dance can improve your muscle tone, strength, build strong relationship, endurance, fitness and serve as employment. Dancing is a great way to meet new friends. The dance academy fees is used as donations. Our doors are open for everyone to join us. The fee is used to support the poor children in our community.

Vrijetijdsactiviteiten

Our accommodations are located in the beautiful village of Obomeng. It is part of the Kwahu Highlands in the Eastern part of the country. Since its location is high above sea level, it offers a very pleasant climate for Europeans. During your stay you will be staying either in our volunteer house or with a host family. The Kwahu Highlands offer plenty of opportunities for day trips. At nearby Lake Volta you can take a boat trip or go swimming. Diverse hiking trails to the peaks of the mountains offer wonderful views over the valleys and the Ghanaian jungle. At the markets in the larger villages, many exciting things can be purchased, and during the rainy season, the numerous waterfalls offer an alternative shower. At Easter, people from all over Ghana come to Kwahu to celebrate the biggest festival of the country. Nothing compares to this crazy event! Anyone planning on coming to Ghana around this time should not miss the Easter celebration.

Ontmoet je organisatie

Welcome to You4Ghana! We are happy you found your way to our page. We are offering socially committed people the opportunity to participate in volunteer projects in Ghana, while educating them about the Ghanaian culture and lifestyle.

According to our motto "Work & Grow", our aim is the long-term improvement of the quality of life of the people in our projects. We specifically focus on supplying people with clean drinking water, the construction of sanitation facilities, supporting the education sector, as well as working with children. At the same time it is important to us to create a dialogue between the volunteers and the residents. By working together in projects, both sides have a lot to learn from each other. Those who approach these people with respect will gain insight into a whole new world.


We own a volunteer house in which up to 20 volunteers can live together. For those who want to experience the Ghanaian culture and everyday life even more, we also offer accommodation in host families. Whatever you decide, one thing is certain: anyone who undertakes this journey with an open and tolerance attitude will have an unforgettable time and experience incredible things.
