Description

Many countries in Africa like Ghana face the problem of homeless and neglected children. Due to this problem efforts are being made to help these young ones. This outcome has resulted in the construction of more orphanage homes. Besides, there are children on the streets and corners of the cities and major towns in Ghana who are still homeless, no place to stay, no one to show them love and care. P.Y.V.O. Ghana has recognized that a lot of help is needed to solve this problem. Due to this problem the P.Y.V.O. Ghana calls for volunteers from worldwide to volunteer in the orphanage homes by giving a helping hand to most of their daily activities. P.Y.V.O. Ghana volunteer placement is established in order to revitalize the passion and confidence in the lives of forsaken and abandoned Children by joining hands with other volunteers to bring a worthy smile on the faces of these children.

These children's age ranges between 1 to 6, and 6 to13 years respectively. Facilities are being provided, so the volunteer would sleep in a separate room at the orphanage in other to get a much better feeling for what is needed and how life in an orphanage is really like.
