ORIENTATION COURSE
This course starts on the third day after arrival of volunteers in the historic city of Cape Coast. It is a two- week course where volunteers are taken through health education, language, history, geography, art/culture conservation and experiential Ghanaian Living.
The facilitators are experienced lecturers and the lessons are organized in mornings of the week days. The volunteers visit historic, tourist and recreational sites at the week ends.
The course gives the volunteer an excellent knowledge on some of the ways of life of the Ghanaian. This is quite useful in their interactions at the project sites. Volunteers are not merely tourists passing through the country, but active development workers in the communities.

The course is opened and closed by the Executive Director.
