VOLUNTEERS
Volunteers mean everything to an NGO like ours! Most of what we have achieved so far, from building our school to creating awareness about corporal punishment, and even designing this website, has been possible thanks to the help of amazing people from all over the world who have unconditionally granted us their time, ideas and excitement. If you've read this far, it already means there is a will in you to make a difference, so continue reading... you won't regret it!

Who can volunteer for EVANG?
In EVANG, we welcome every human being with a will to help us out! Nonetheless, and because the world can't always be butterflies and rainbows, the following requirements must be met by anyone wishing to join us ON THE FIELD (Ghana):
- Candidates aged 16 or younger must travel under the supervision of an adult (+18).
- Candidates must prove that they are have initiative, are tolerant, respectful with others, capable of adapting to new environments and able to think critically.
- Candidates must be able to cover their own expenses, including VISA, flights, housing, food, medical insurance and any other travelling expenses. We will guide you on how to achieve this in the most economic way, but we are NOT capable of funding volunteers during their stay.
- Candidates must undergo a interview where both the candidate and the NGO will become familiar with each other, ensuring that the above conditions are met.
Why is EVANG's volunteer programme so special?
As an EVANG volunteer, you will not only be told what to do, you must also decide and create a path for yourself. We believe that our volunteers are there because they have something to share with the Ghanaians, and there is no one better then themselves to decide how to do that in the best, most effective way possible.

What projects can I get involved in?
Projects vary widely from year to year, and while teachers are welcome all year round to teach at the schools in Keta (Volta Region), the projects proposed by new volunteers, as well as the existing ones are bound to change. Therefore, your best option is to simply contact us and we will get to you ASAP with all the information available. Nonetheless, to fulfill your curiosity, during the summer of 2015 we kept ourselves busy with:

DONATIONS
Did you know that... for the amount of money you spend on buying coffee and toast one morning, you could probably provide a Ghanaian child with two whole meals?
So now that I made you feel guilty, the donations' button is down below... just kidding! ;). We know that donating money to NGO's has its risks now a days, but for those of us who really appreciate the value of money and know how and where to use it best, donations can help us survive during the biggest storm (both literally and metaphorically!). I Maybe you've hear about us through a friend, a family member or a volunteer, and maybe you want to contribute with the cause, but don't have the time or resources to come visit us in Ghana. If so, your way to go might be through a donation. And to ease your mind, you may choose to receive a follow up on where your money has been spent. Thank you!! |
