Detailed Working/Living Agenda of OGVO-Ghana Programs
Accommodation and Meals

Accommodation and meals are included.

Our home-stay families in Ghana can provide the following features:
• Electricity
• Running water
• Private room with basic furniture (You can choose to share the room with another volunteer but the cost will remain the same).

In the rural areas, the resources are limited and the living condition can be basic.

Three meals a day are provided by the home-stay families.

Breakfast is usually ready by around 7am; however you can eat later if you prefer to get up late.
Lunch is usually packed by your host family in a lunch box so that you can eat at your project if you wish. Dinner is usually served around 7pm.

If you have special eating needs, you can indicate that while applying. Even though special eating needs are not something we can guarantee, we will do our best to meet your needs.

It is exciting to live with a local family. This way, you can easily learn the local way of life, meet local people, and feel more like a part of Ghana rather than just a tourist. We strongly encourage you to
try the local flavours and experience the local culture and traditions as much as possible. Keep in mind that it is important to be open-minded and to be flexible. You shouldn’t expect that you would eat the same
food or have the same lifestyle as you do at home. Actually, one of the most important things you will learn abroad is how their way of living is just as correct as yours.
