A journey to Ghana provides your church with a profound opportunity for spiritual growth and meaningful service. Your congregation will experience the beautiful landscapes, rich culture, and historical sites, including the profound opportunity to experience a vibrant Ghanaian church service. Your group will actively contribute to the needs of the local community through direct acts of service, making this a truly transformative pilgrimage.
We encourage participation in our “Bring a Bag/Take a Bag” charitable initiative to amplify your impact. Travelers can pack an extra bag with essential donations (clothing, stationery, etc.) for a local school, orphanage, or clinic, directly benefiting children and those in need. The empty bag is then yours to fill with Ghanaian souvenirs, ensuring your generosity leaves a lasting impact. Furthermore, you may choose to volunteer time by teaching music, art, or sharing insights into your native culture.
What are the most urgent needs of the community we will be serving?
Many Ghanaian children face significant challenges and lack essential items necessary for basic well-being and education. Children are in need of various essentials, such as clothing, footwear, school supplies, reading materials, and so much more.
How much time is dedicated to the "Bring a Bag" donation drop-offs and volunteer work in the itinerary?
The total amount of time allotted for donation drop-offs and community interaction is flexible and decided entirely by your group. We recommend dedicating a full day to interacting with the children or attending a complete church service.
If we bring specialized skills (e.g., medical, teaching), can our volunteer time be tailored to use those skills?
Yes, absolutely. We highly encourage utilizing specialized skills. If members of your group possess professional expertise (such as medical, teaching, or technical skills), we can tailor the volunteer time to match those skills.
What is the process for ensuring our "Bring a Bag" donations reach the intended recipients efficiently and safely? Will we be present during the donation hand-off?
Yes, you will absolutely be present during the donation hand-off.
Our process ensures that your “Bring a Bag” donations reach the intended recipients efficiently and safely by having your group deliver the donations directly to the selected school, orphanage, or clinic. This allows your travelers to personally witness the gratitude and joy of the recipients, completing the entire charitable cycle with a meaningful, firsthand experience.
Does Awuni Tours Ghana maintain an ongoing relationship with the places we serve?
Yes, Awuni Tours Ghana maintains close, ongoing relationships with the places where donations are made and with the churches whose services our travelers experience.
