The pastoral program, a way of helping and assisting others in typical traditional Ghanaian living conditions in small villages. With fewer social amenities, a volunteer is faced with a challenge to improvise and adopt to carry out tasks in a project
Our pastoral projects are basically schools. With fewer personnels to teach and assist co-curricular activities,volunteer will share experiences and learn new techniques and skills in teaching little children, planning, organizing or supervising educative programs and games at the basic level with limited resources
The culture is huge. Like an iceberg with its larger mass beneath the ocean, volunteer will be exposed to discover and explore some portions of our culture. Language and behavioral adaptation is rapid and is integrated unconsciously with time.
Learn our way of life( cooking, washing, dancing, cleaning,farming) the indigenous way through the help of our trusted host-families.
Its simple, all you need is the passion, readiness and will to help and also learn from others. Browse through the list of our pastoral projects and apply now.

Pastoral vs Normal Programme
Both programmes are generally geared towards helping and assisting children coupled with cross-cultural integration in Ghanaians communities. However, they differ by:
Proximity: Our normal programme is made up of projects which are in the cities or closer to the cities. Most projects are between 15- 60 mins away from the center of Kumasi.
Facilities: As a result of the closeness of the projects to the city in the normal programme, basic social facilities are a lot and of better standards compared to those in the villages. For instance, easy transportation(24hrs car service), sharing taxi, bars and restaurants, supermarkets, ATM machines, running water, etc..
