How do I communicate with my family? IFRE staff? Is there internet access?
We suggest that volunteers bring an unlocked mobile phone. Once you arrive in Ghana, you can change your SIM card and use your phone. This is the perfect way to stay in touch with your family and IFRE offices in Accra. Internet access is available in Accra and nearby areas at Internet centers. Most locations are open 8am to 9pm Monday to Saturday. Prices are very inexpensive. International phone calling is easy in Accra with phone card or at communication centers. You can buy phone cards from stalls around town for the Ghana Telecom offices in Central Accra.
Please see your placement sheet to learn detailed information about the availability of telephones, internet, etc. in your placement areas.
The mission of IFRE Volunteers is to offer the most affordable as well as the highest quality volunteer and humanitarian abroad experiences - enabling us to make a contribution for all of humanity in its quest to make the world a better place. Through our volunteer and humanitarian trips abroad, we aim to spread love and compassion worldwide while improving the lives of destitute children and less-fortunate communities. We at IFRE also seek sustainable solutions in the fields of education, healthcare, conservation efforts and development issues through international volunteering.
