Airport and Arrival Information
Who will meet me at the airport? What should I do if I get delayed or miss a flight? When should I arrive?
All volunteers should arrive to the Kotoka International Airport (ACC) located 10k from the Accra city center in Accra , Ghana , West Africa . Airport officials often require current immunization records from travelers arriving even from non-infected areas. One of our representatives will meet you at the airport. Please make sure of this by taking care to send your flight information to our offices, a follow up call is suggested near your departure date.
If you get delayed or miss your flight, please call our office or coordinator (contact numbers are available in plac em ent sheets and pre-departure booklet) and wait for him. If again you get lost, go to the contact hotel using a secured Taxi service, these cars are thus marked. Please do not use outside taxis until you are more familiar with the area -contact telephone numbers and addresses of our hostel and contact hotel are available in the plac em ent sheets and pre-departure booklet. Once you meet our representative or coordinator, you will be transferred to our offices and on to your host family. You will meet staff and fellow volunteers there.
Volunteers coming to Ghana are advised to arrive one day before their program start date. The program fee will cover expenses beginning of the first day of the program (Usually first or third Monday) to the last day of the program. If you arrive before the first day of the program and/or stay beyond the last day of the program, expenses will be the responsibility of the volunteer (usually $30 per day for room/food in hostel).
