<h2>Description of Volunteering as a Teacher in Ghana</h2>
As a volunteer, you will teach&nbsp;English, mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology in the schools. In addition to the reading of English literature with the older students, you will particularly help to improve&nbsp;their pronunciation. To assist you, the volunteer will receive a &quot;teaching guide&quot; for the daily work at school. 
Volunteers can also be integrated into pre-request, where small children are taught the basics. It is the fun way of learning that motivates just African children in this age, to acquire new knowledge and to lay the groundwork for a better future.

English and basic knowledge in mathematics, physics, chemistry or biology is the key to better jobs and greater economic independence. Help the children to lay those foundations in school.
