Volunteer Opportunities

Since 2017, I have been actively engaged in volunteer work, both on-site and online, for Kids Kastle Montessori School in Kumasi, Ghana. This institution caters to children aged 2 to 12 years, with a special emphasis on providing quality education to less privileged kids. In my role, I took the initiative to advocate for global participation in the school's mission by leveraging the Workaway volunteering platform. Through my efforts, I successfully attracted volunteers from various corners of the world, including Italy, Spain, Finland, USA, Canada, and more. I played a pivotal role in facilitating their involvement, contributing to the school's educational, cultural, and social initiatives.
