Childcare volunteer work varies but usually includes:

- Assisting with homework
- Sharing your language and culture
- Playing games
- Helping with food preparation and meal distribution
You’re welcome to bring along books, pencils, basic first aid supplies and musical instruments to help your volunteering. These supplies can generally be purchased in Ghana, which also supports the local economy.
