Excellent Time!
March 02, 2026by: Joshua TINDOOG - GhanaProgram: School Teaching Assistant
My time here was a rewarding experience that allowed me to support both teachers and students in a practical way. I assisted in classroom activities, helped students understand lessons, and provided one-on-one support to those who needed extra attention. This role strengthened my patience, communication skills, and ability to work with children from different learning backgrounds. I also helped prepare learning materials and supported classroom management, which made lessons run more smoothly. Seeing students improve in confidence and participation was the most fulfilling part of the experience. Overall, the role helped me grow personally and professionally, while contributing positively to the learning environment and student progress.
Amazing Community Experience with Future for Africa
December 14, 2025by: Nayang SamuelProgram: School Teaching Assistant
I spent three weeks volunteering as a Teaching Assistant at Yikene Primary School, and it has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. During this time, I worked closely with teachers to support classroom activities and helped students with their lessons, reading, and general learning needs. The experience allowed me to connect deeply with the students and understand the realities of education at the community level. Despite limited resources, the children were eager to learn, curious, and incredibly welcoming. Being part of their daily school routine and seeing their confidence grow was truly fulfilling. This project not only strengthened my teaching and communication skills but also gave me a new perspective on the impact of education and community-based support. I am grateful for the opportunity to contribute, even in a small way, and I will always carry the lessons and memories from Bolgatanga with me.
