St. Miracle Works Educational Foundation

My Name is Nils, I went alone for 3 Weeks to Ghana, Senya Beraku for volunteering when I was 16. Seth came to greet me at the Airport and it was great. Seth and Naomi then hosted me as a family member since the first day. I learned much stuff about building and Ghanian culture. The life-rhythm they have, gives energy and motivation in the morning that I never had before. Naomi showed me delicious local foods, and she showed me how to teach to little kids. Seth was really honest and all the money usage was completely transparent. We went to the village really often, and we spoke to many people. The people there are so friendly and open to conversation, and I could meet many new persons. If you are looking for doing volunteering, I recommend to you St. Miracle Works Educational Foundation with all my heart. I am sure they have all you are looking for in volunteering and even more. And we need your help.

I spent 2 weeks in July with St miracle works educational foundation as a construction and renovation volunteer. During my stay, I got to mix mortar, plaster walls and help with renovations that were needed but I also got to spend some time with the children of the school, building paper aeroplanes and teaching French. This was a truly wonderful experience and the kids love having volunteers, they are the highlight of this truly wonderful organisation. Seth and Naomie work very hard to make your stay the best it can be. I really recommend helping them out as you will get to discover a wonderful country and people as well as feeling that you are making a difference where help is needed!

From the first day, their welcoming and warmth towards me have been nothing but clear. Whether it be guiding through Ghanaian culture or teaching construction, they have made more sacrifices than I can count to make sure their volunteers (including me) got a wonderful experience. Having been there 6 weeks, I got the opportunity to experience both construction and the children. Beyond academics, the environment there is better than anything you could imagine. Whilst life is simple, the community, rooted in brotherhood and love, made it pass so much quicker and enjoyable. Really, my time there zoomed through. I would like to also mention how amazing the impact of this project is. By proving food, education, and shelter to underprivileged kids in a rural setting, you really make a difference. Seth always likes to mention how volunteers are the backbone of the organization, and while this is true, none of this could have happened without his and Naomi’s endless dedication. If there is ANY project I could recommend for volunteers, this is the one if you want to make a true difference.
