The Ghana Education Service has recently included arts as part of the curriculum at primary schools to help develop the creativity of pupils before they transition to junior high school. Since our education system is fairly new, we have a lack of creative art teachers; hence, the desperate need for volunteers to help teach the subject. When school is not in session, the project is carried out in orphanage homes as an after-school program.

Volunteers support the cognitive development of children through creative methods using constructive materials, paints, clay, and drawings. They also help keep the classroom clean, teach basic English, and report daily activities to the local teachers. In addition to lessons in creative arts, volunteers can spend time assisting the teachers in other subjects.

This is a great program for creative individuals, as they have the opportunity to design and implement recreational and educational activities for children. We encourage them to use their skills and interests to develop fun activities such as music and dance, arts and crafts, and more.
