Sports Training in Ghana

Praktikum und Volunteering möglich
 
Volunteers and interns can work out with children and adolescents at three schools every afternoon from 2.00 p.m., training them in football, basketball, handball, volleyball, swimming lessons, athletics and taekwondo at the Sports For Change Foundation. Those interested can also train people with special needs.
 

Project Details

 
The Sports For Change Foundation in Cape Coast takes on interns and volunteers who can teach football, handball, volleyball, basketball, taekwondo, athletics, swimming and other sports at three different schools, and support children and young people at competitions. People with special needs are also trained in sports.
 
Sports For Change provides students of St. Monica 's School (Catholic school for girls, 1st - 6th grade), Christ Church School (1st - 9th grade) and a school in Abreshia (1st - 9th grade), afternoon sports activities including football, basketball, handball, volleyball, swimming lessons and Taekwondo. The trainings are held from Monday to Friday, 2.00 p.m. onwards. Athletics will also be offered as soon they get a suitable, qualified trainer. The training is held for boys and girls. In addition, the Sports For Change Foundation works with a school for children with special needs. 

About a hundred children from each school take part in the program offered by the Sports For Change Foundation. The sports activities take place on the school grounds; for the swimming lessons, students go to the swimming pools of some of the hotels in Cape Coast. In addition to the actual training, there are also "theory" lessons on body functions, body hygiene, disease and prevention, healthy diet, proper exercise, etc.

Robert Ayensu (MA Physical Education and Business Communication) aka “Nana” to all, and his team of five coaches, an administrator and seven Ghanaian volunteers, work tirelessly to expand the range of sport offered. He founded this NGO early this year in March. The number of participants is growing rapidly. Nana’s program is supported by the initiative, "FIFA Football For Hope", which uses the sport to promote social responsibility. Sport can change and fundamentally improve the lives of disadvantaged children. Their self-expression and self-confidence would be strengthened and improved by the solidarity, fair play and conflict resolution in any kind of sport, as well as the interaction with and the integration of other people with disabilities. The Sports For Change Foundation would like to offer their training to as many children as possible and support them in developing their talents. The employees also use for reconnaissance training, The Education Talks, which are an important part of the program and run in the communities to provide basic knowledge about disease prevention and a healthy lifestyle, which is improved by food and exercise.
 
Those who desire to teach in a primary school in Cape Coast, can also teach English, mathematics, science and computers in addition to sports training.

Special Education in Ghana

Praktikum und Volunteering möglich
 
We organize Internships and Volunteering assignments with two schools for differently abled children in Cape Coast: The Cape Coast School for the Deaf and Blind and the Methodist Special Educational Need School. These inserts are aimed at trainees and volunteers in the areas of special education and volunteers with skills in occupational therapy, physiotherapy and speech therapy.
 

Project Details

 

Cape Coast School for Deaf and Blind

 
In the municipality of Ametewee in Cape Coast is a state school for children with hearing or visual impairment. These students are taught English, mathematics, science, Fanti, computer, sports, arts, religion and Ghanaian sign language. In addition, the school offers training in carpentry, carpet weaving, cooking, bicycle mechanics, hairdressing, nursing, gardening and painting.
 
Interns and volunteers join the teachers in sign language classes every Thursday. Sign language lessons are essential in order to communicate with the students and take six weeks to complete. While learning, you can assist the teachers and gain first insights. Subsequently, you can take lessons in the presence of a teacher.
 
The school trains the students till the 9th grade (Junior High 3) and then the students can attend regular senior high school or pursue a vocational training offered by the school. The 41 teachers at the school are special education teachers, and in addition to the degree in their teaching subject, are also training specialists. The 443 students are usually at school Monday to Friday from 7.00 a.m. to 2.00 p.m. The classes are divided according the impairment of the students – either visual or hearing. The class size is 19-24 students.
 
The school board requires long-term interns or volunteers (3-12 months). Holidays are from late June to early September, during Christmas and Easter. During this school-free time you can conduct events and workshops in the school.
 
The school also runs a farm, on which vegetables like maize and cassava are grown, and animals like guinea pig, pigs and rabbits are taken care of. Many of the students take part in the regular dance and drum and trumpet lessons and performances.
 
In addition to the teachers, there are 40 other people working in kitchen, farm, nursing and safety departments at the school. There is also a private nurse and infirmary.
 

Special Educational Need School – Methodist Primary School

 
The Methodist Primary School at Aboom in Cape Coast is a school for children with special needs where children with trisomy 21, autism, ADD, ADHD, cerebral disorders and developmental delays are given special education.
 
As an intern or volunteer, you assist teachers in teaching, in occupational therapy, physical therapy and/or speech therapy. The school staff include five special education teachers and five assistants.
 
There are no specialists for occupational therapy, physiotherapy and speech therapy at the school; these forms of therapy are carried out by the special education teachers, self taught after many years practicing, but without formal professional training in these fields.
 
The approximately 80 children attend the school Monday to Friday from 8.30 a.m. – 1.00 p.m. Students are between 8-27 years old and are divided into three classes. One class is especially dedicated to the language development of children, while a second focuses on students with reading and writing difficulties. Older students usually attend craft class where their motor skills and their intellectual skills are honed through manual activities, such as the making of bags or embroidery. In all classes, English, mathematics, science and sport are taught. Holidays are from late June to early September, during Christmas and Easter.
 
Interns and volunteers are offered lunch at the facility.
 
In Ghana, children with special needs and their families are often stigmatized, thanks to the superstition that they were punished by God or were possessed by the devil. Women who give birth to a child with a disability usually abandon or hide the children. The school staff, therefore, frequent various communities and talk about the medical causes of disabilities, bring children out of isolation and convince the family to let them attend school. Comprehensive and regular information campaigns are only possible when volunteers are present, as otherwise, there is a shortage of time and staff.
 
As Mary Osei, the headmistress, and Anthony Mensah, a teacher, say, the causes for the conditions of the children are diverse. In some cases, the disability could be due to alcoholism, malnutrition or malaria in the mother during pregnancy. In other cases, it could be complications during birth, which is often taken at home without skilled care. Other causes include severe head injuries, accidents, malaria, measles and other diseases during baby or toddler age, chemical poisoning (carbon monoxide, kerosene, etc.), exposure to mining fields, drug abuse, failed abortions and wrongly prescribed medicinal herbs.
 
The diagnosis of the disability and recommended therapy and teaching methods are done via the Ankaful Mental Hospital.
 
At the Methodist Primary School, there are also classes for healthy children. An insert/internship in the regular Primary School can be combined with one in the Special Needs school.

Teaching at Schools in Cape Coast

Internship and Volunteering Possible
 
Volunteers and Interns can teach at various public and private schools in Ghana. The medium of instruction in Ghana is English. The usual subjects that foreign volunteers and interns teach are English, mathematics and sciences, sports (basketball, soccer, volleyball) and computer. You either teach independently, or together with a local teacher.
 

Project Details

 
The school system in Ghana consists of two years of Nursery School (Nursery), six years of primary school (Elementary School) and three years of junior high school (Middle School), followed by three years of senior high school (Upper Secondary School), a four-year Bachelor’s degree program and two years for the Master's Degree.
 
In Ghana, there are both public schools, run by public authorities, as well as private schools, which are mostly run by NGOs and churches.
 
State public schools are largely financed by taxes. They are free of charge and therefore accessible to all children, but the quality of teaching and the facilities of the schools are often inadequate due to underfunding. The classes are often crowded. Children going to public schools can easily be identified by their brown-orange school uniform.
 
Private schools, which are mostly run by NGOs or churches do not receive tax money, but are financed by donations and/or school fees. They are often situated in areas where there are no or too few state schools. Often such private schools have part of their institutions for orphans if the nearest school is too far away, but are mostly attended by children from the neighborhood. Often, such schools also have programs that children from needy families, from whom no fee or only a symbolic fee is collected.
 
A school year is divided into trimesters in Ghana. The first starts in early September and continues until Christmas. The second trimester is usually from early January to mid-April and the third from early May to late July. This schedule shifts a little every year. In some schools, summer classes or workshops are held during the summer holidays.
 
Aboom Methodist Primary and Junior High School
 
Located in Aboom, just a few miles from Cape Coast Town, the Methodist Primary School is integrated with Nursery School. Interns and volunteers assist teachers or independently give lessons in subjects such as English, mathematics, science, religion/ethics, computers, arts and sports.
 
From Nursery School to Junior High School, students are divided into 13 classes of 30 children. Classes usually take place Monday to Friday from 7.30 a.m. – 1.30 p.m.
 
Volunteers and interns begin by assisting teachers and observing the teaching method; post which they are free to teach independently. For computer lessons, a curriculum is available, which deals with both software and hardware, as well as the ten-finger typing system. The children are taught on the computer from the age of six years.
 
Holidays are from late June to early September, during Christmas and Easter. During this school-free time volunteers and interns can organize workshops, which are usually attended by children with great enthusiasm. Since a teacher needs to be present during this time, with an expected remuneration, volunteers/interns are required to make a contribution of 200 Cedi (about 40 euros) for two weeks.
 
Interns at this school pay a one-time contribution for supervision of 200 USD.
 
SANKOFA MbofraFie
 
The simple school "SANKOFA MbofraFie", offers children an education from Nursery School to Junior High School (until the 9th grade). Interns and volunteers assist the teacher in the teaching of subjects like English, mathematics, science, computer science, Ghanaian culture classes, RME (Religious and Moral Education), as well as sports. Art lessons can be conducted independently by the participants.

For the 500 students, classes start at 7:30 a.m. and ends at 3.00 p.m., from Monday to Friday. The 19 teachers teach in class sizes of 20 to 30 children. In addition to English, mathematics, science, sports and arts, instruction in Fanti, Ghanaian culture and a mixture of religion and ethics are taught (RME = Religious and Moral Education). Computer science is taught only in theory, since no computer is available for practical exercises.
 
In addition, every Friday morning there is a worship service.
 
The school's philosophy is that every child deserves a good education. David Kwesi Acquah, the founder, grew up in a poor family on the streets of Cape Coast. Once he completed his degree, he worked at a youth center for a year in Belgium, after which he began to take into in his home disadvantaged children, to offer them a safe space, good spiritual and physical development and the prospect of a solid future. Since the school does not take tuition fees, it is financed solely on donations. The Farm Project was started to ensure that in future each student has a nutritious meal everyday.
 
There is also the opportunity to become a sponsor for one of the children and to support him/her in their development.
 
Holidays are from late June to early September, during Christmas and Easter. During this period it is possible for participants to stay at the orphanage all day.
 
A volunteering/internship in the school can be combined with an insert in the orphanage.
 
The participants are free to live with full boarding along with the children in the orphanage, in a room with other volunteers/interns (four sharing a room) or check into a hotel near the facility. In this case, lunch will be served at the orphanage.
 
Pathfinder School
 
Volunteers and interns can teach French, English, mathematics, science and art at the Pathfinder School. You can also work with workshop leaders who offer Drumming & Dancing, singing, theater and environmental education. Classes are held from Monday to Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 3.00 p.m. There are usually two volunteers/interns required in a class to help the teacher so that more time can be taken for each student according to their needs.
 
Since it is difficult to find French language teachers in Ghana, classes can be offered in this language, provided the volunteer has relevant expertise.
 
Free teaching time is during Christmas and Easter for three weeks each, during which volunteers and interns can teach by themselves at the Home of Hope. During major holidays (late July to early September), summer lessons are available for students; volunteers can also teach at this time and assist the teachers. During these months even children who would otherwise go to other schools (and which are closed in summer) attend the Pathfinder School, which makes the number of students attending more than during regular school months.
 
Path Finder is in close proximity to the Children's Home of Hope orphanage and is visited both by the children of Home of Hope and 100 children from the nearby community, who can afford to pay school fees. Since about 60 % of the children are exempted from paying fees, the school is also called “Free-School” in the area.
 
Participants should stay at least three months and are expected to spend not less than four hours on school days. For a three-month internship, the cycles offered are from September to December, January to April and May to July.
 
Interns and volunteers can stay at an accommodation in Cape Coast or sleep in a volunteer-residential space in the orphanage, sharing with seven participants.
 
Volunteers pay a one-time contribution of 150 USD. In case of supervised internships, a fee of 150 USD applies per quarter.
 
New Life International School
 
The New Life International School has a nursery (Nursery School) for ages 4 to 6, and a primary school with grades 1-6 for 6-12 year old children.
 
Interns and Volunteers can assist teachers in subjects like English, mathematics, science and sports. Art lessons can be taught independently by the participants. In addition, computer classes are offered at the beginner level.
 
Eight teachers teach the eight classes (Nursery = 2 classes; Primary = 6 classes) from Monday to Friday from 8.00 a.m. until 2.00/3.00 p.m. The class size is 15 to 25 children; the lower grades usually with more students than the older grades. The age of the students in a class can vary widely as the children are classified according to knowledge rather than by age. A total of about 155 children attend the school, 125 of whom live in the village. The pupils are taught English at Nursery School from the age of 4 years; so they are able to communicate with the participants easily.
 
The interns and volunteers assist teachers and observe the teaching style in the beginning. Depending on the capability and interest, they can then take a class independently.
 
The standard of the school is comparable to that of a public school, but is better equipped with books and computers; so computer lessons can be practically taught and the students have better prospects in the labor market in the future. The monthly school fees for the children of the village is a symbolic 15 Cedi (3 euros). The salaries of teachers and materials are financed by various NGOs and local churches.
 
During the holidays, various workshops and recreational activities are offered for the children, where there is active participation. Here participants can let their imagination run wild by bringing together a variety of projects on topics such as sports, theater, games, computer and arts and crafts for the children.
 
In late July, shortly before the holidays, students write their exams.
 
Derrick's vision of the future is to further lift the standards of the school, to create more classrooms in order to increase the capacity of the school and to start a junior high school, so that older students do not have to commute and pay higher school fees.
 
The stay should last at least 2 weeks and can be a maximum of 6 months. A monthly contribution of 200 cedis (about 45 Euros) is payable to New Life International.
 
An insert in the school can also be combined with voluntary service in the orphanage.
 
Eguasi Primary School
 
Eguasi Primary School provides interns and volunteers the opportunity to teach subjects like English, French, mathematics, science, computer, religion/ethics and social studies with a focus on map drawing; they can also opt to assist existing teachers. Students also receive Fanti lessons.
 
The 517 students are taught from the first grade in the Nursery School to the third stage of Junior High School. The class size is 35 children per class. The Nursery School has two classes with four teachers, the Primary School has six classes with six teachers and the Junior High School has three classes with three teachers.
 
Usually, classes are held Monday through Friday from 8.00 a.m. to 2.00 p.m. 
Interns and volunteers initially assist the teachers to gain insight into the teaching method. Once you are perceived as ready, you are free to take lessons independently.
 
During the holidays (late July to early September, Christmas and Easter), the school is closed and there are no activities that take place.
 
A good time to start a mission would be September, but you can also start at the beginning of another trimester.
 
Montessori School in Elmina
 
About half an hour's drive from Cape Coast, located in the fishing town of Elmina, is the first school in Ghana that teaches by the Montessori system in the unadulterated form. It was started in September 2014. Interns and volunteers who can teach regular subjects such as English, French, mathematics, religion, and science as well as art, crafts, music, theater, dance, music therapy, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, speech therapy, art therapy and swimming are needed here. We look particularly for educators who have expertise in the field of early childhood development.
 
Located on the site of an orphanage, this simple private school is also open to children of the community. This is a pilot project. In September 2014, the school was started with 20 children in four Nursery classes. In each class there are five three-year-olds, five four-year-olds, five five-year-olds and five six-year-olds. Each year, new students join the Nursery class, while the existing students progress to the Primary School (class 6). Primary School is taught following the British-Ghanaian curriculum. The classes are integrated, so that children with special needs also participate in the lessons. School timings are Mondays to Fridays 8.00 a.m. to 2.00 p.m.; subsequently, from 2.00 p.m. to 3.00 p.m., an extra hour is spent for creative projects. Participants’ ideas are invited for the constructive use of this hour.
 
Since this school is church-run, the subject of religion and faith plays a big role. Participants are therefore advised to be sympathetic to the Christian faith.
 
The trimesters start each year in September, January and April, and last for twelve weeks. Participants are expected to arrive one month before classes begin and undergo training in Montessori education.
 
The school provides the participants a meal per day and provides round-trip transportation to the work site. From 2015, accommodations for interns and volunteers are to be erected on the site. Until then, accommodation is available in Elmina. A financial contribution is not expected by the school.
 
About half of the teaching body is of Ghanaian origin; the other half is made up of international teachers. The school is headed by the young Briton Robin Djokoto Rebecca, who has lived in Ghana for many years. She stood up for the opening of this school because there was no school in Ghana who really exclusively adopted the Montessori concept. Underprivileged children do not pay school fees; and to contribute for those families who cannot afford the fee, volunteers pay 100 Ghana Cedi (about 20 euros) per trimester.  
 
Wesleys Senior High Girls School
 
The Wesley Girls Senior High School in Abura, about 10 minutes drive away from Cape Town, is one of the top schools in Ghana. It is an all-girls school. However, internships and volunteer work are also possible for male participants. Student teachers and trained volunteer teachers are sought here for teaching French, biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics and computer science. Only native speakers are considered to teach in English.
 
About 100 teachers teach the almost 1,400 girls at this school. Each of the three levels has twelve classes, with a class size of about 40 students. Usually, classes are held Monday through Friday from 6.40 a.m. to 2.20 p.m.
 
Interns and volunteers are assigned according to their field of study and work closely with the department director. After a short familiarization phase, they may teach by themselves, if the manager deems them ready. Participants are recommended to start the insert at the beginning of a trimester (September/January/April). If the participant is proven to be a good teacher, the insert can be renewed for another term.
 
Native speakers are sought to teach English language lessons. Specialised French teachers should also offer conversation training in the afternoons. In computer science education, the use of Excel, PowerPoint, Word, etc. is focused on.
 
During the summer holidays (late July to mid-September), the school offers summer teaching courses. In these courses, the classes are mixed gender.
 
The school is supported partly by the church and partly by the state; so it is semi-private. The issue of religion and faith plays a big role here. Participants are therefore advised to be sympathetic to the Christian faith.
 
Girls from around the country prepare to study here. All the girls live on campus.

Hotel Internships In Ghana

Praktikum möglich
 
We offer internships at various hotels on the Gold Coast (in the area of Cape Coast), south of Ghana. Along the 560 km long "Gold Coast”, there are many historic Portuguese, Dutch, Swedish, Danish, German and English castles, forts and ports from the trade and colonial era. The sandy beaches along the coast are heavenly. In addition to many Ghanaians who visit, half a million foreign tourists visit the country every year for the historical and cultural heritage and for safaris.
 
Internships are also possible in urban hotels in Accra.
 

Project Details

 
A beach hotel, at which we organize internships, is located in Elmina (12 km west of Cape Coast). It has 91 rooms and 9 suites of high standards and is meant for both tourists and business travelers.
 
There are two restaurants (indoor and outdoor terrace) with a capacity of 100 guests, where Ghanaian and international dishes are served. The specialty is seafood and fish dishes. There is also a bar, a night club, swimming pool, sports facilities (gym, tennis, squash, basketball), as well as a business center and five conference and banquet rooms for 16-200 participants, equipped with modern technology.
 
We also work with a hotel chain which has four hotels. One is an upscale hotel located in the business district of Accra. It has 10 multi-purpose rooms that can be used for conferences and events such as receptions and weddings, with a capacity that ranges from 10 to 320 people. In Elmina, the chain operates an upscale beach hotel and another hotel of average standards (tourist class) in a historic building opposite the Elmina Castle. Another hotel is located in Obuasi.
 
Internships are possible in areas such as Front Office, Back Office, F & B service and kitchen.
 
Accommodation is not usually provided for trainees; food is provided.

Psychiatric Hospital in Ankaful

Praktikum und Volunteering möglich
 
In Ankaful Psychiatric Hospital, internships, electives and final year rotations are possible in the field of clinical psychology and psychiatry. Professionals can also volunteer in these areas.
 

Project Details

 
The Ankaful Mental Hospital located in Ankaful, five miles from Cape Coast, is one of the three psychiatric hospitals in Ghana. Patients with diseases such as schizophrenia, bipolar affective disorder, depression, drug addiction, hypomania, insomnia, organic brain syndrome, schizoaffective disorder, impotence, epilepsy and dementia are treated here while hospitalised or as outpatients by clinical psychologists, psychiatrists and specially trained nursing staff.
 
Interns accompany the clinical psychologists, psychiatrists or the head nurse in individual or group therapy sessions. During certain months of the year, students from the University of Cape Coast train at the Ankaful Mental Hospital, since it is a teaching hospital for psychiatry. Participants can interact with these students.
 
Working hours are usually Monday to Friday from 8.00 a.m. – 2.00 p.m., but can be longer when there are a larger number of patients.
 
In Ankaful Mental Hospital, there is a clinical psychologist, three psychiatrists and about 271 psychiatric nurses. The facility has an integrated school for the training of psychiatric nurses.
 
In addition to about 80 inpatients, who stay for six weeks on average, approximately 90 patients are treated on an outpatient basis during the week. For the initial treatment, psychological outpatients pay 5 Cedi (about 1 Euro), and 4 Cedi for every subsequent session. The sessions are free for inpatients.
 
Many patients are addicted to drugs and go through a specially designed 12-step program. Subsequently, they have the option of staying in the rehabilitation center, if necessary, to obtain support for a further six months.
 
All inpatients are treated both by a clinical psychologist and a psychiatrist. About 40% of all ambulatory patients are referred by clinical psychologists to the psychiatrist. Conversely, even the psychiatrists refer patients to clinical psychologists.
 
In the past, patients were encouraged to make leather crafts, batik and mesh pocket, as well as take care of rabbits, as part of the therapy, but because of the lack of finances, these are currently not functional. However, inpatients are involved in gardening on the site and growing vegetables. There is also a shortage of medical supplies due to the lack of finances.
 
Mental illness is taboo in the Ghanaian society. Families in which such a case arises are known to be traditionally excluded from marriage prospects. Due to the still widespread superstition (curses, witchcraft) and deep-rooted religious beliefs, the affected are first taken to pastors. When there is no improvement, they are then taken to psychiatric clinics in very remote locations, so that rumours do not spread.
 
Interns pay a one time fee of USD 200 to the hospital. Accommodation is provided in the village of Ankaful.
