We do have placements for a number of projects. We are in partnership with other sister Non-governmental organizations, institutions, establishments, enterprises and governmental organizations. We make it easier for volunteers to\u00a0get projects they wants.Volunteers really enjoy our programs because of our flexibility\u00a0 and low cost. However,we ensure that volunteers get requisite experiences in the areas they choose\u00a0 through first hand orientation by FEDEP and the projects partners.\u00a0Individuals or\u00a0groups\u00a0\u00a0interested to volunteer in the following areas are welcome:<\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n CULTURAL STUDIES<\/strong><\/p>\n As part of our program we organise\u00a0 Fante <\/em><\/strong>(local Language) lessons twice a week and it is optional.Accompanied with the Fante lessons are some folktals & Songs<\/em><\/strong> and\u00a0lecturers about the Ghanaian society and culture<\/strong><\/em>.

Homestay family system and Guest house.\u00a0The cost of the\u00a0 program depends\u00a0largely on\u00a0 the duration but not the type of project selected. It is always the responsibility of FEDEP to provide accommodation being guest house or homestay.<\/p>\n Homestay Families\u00a0 provide our volunteers with three(3) square meal a day, bedroom with table, chair, something to hang cloths on, bed, sheet, fan. In some families volunteers have their separate washroom and toilet while other families also share the mentioned facilities with the volunteers. We always advise our volunteers to learn to adjust themselves in case they have to share those facilities with\u00a0 families. Actually, that to some extent is essence of volunteerism.<\/p>\n Guest Houses provide\u00a0breakfast and dinner whilst arrangement is made with either the project partners\u00a0 or individuals to provide lunch.<\/p>\n WHERE\u00a0\u00a0 VOLUNTEERS ‘\u00a0 FEES\u00a0 GO<\/strong><\/p>\n The volunteers’ fees\u00a0are disbursed in a \u00a0wide range of areas to benefit the volunteers, projects, and Ghana economy at large.
