Ghana for instance is colonized by the British and 80% of the people here are very good in English speaking. It is an advantage to learn a few basic phrases but it is certainly not necessary to be fluent. The vast majority of our projects do not require specific language skills and few volunteers speak the English language before they go. Teaching volunteers teaches English and with this a volunteer should be well good in English -- this is what schools want. There are some exceptions where a basic or good knowledge of the local language is needed. This is often for professional projects like Journalism and Medicine, or for French and Spanish speaking countries. The specific project pages will specify if any language skills are required. In many countries it is possible to take language lessons if you want to improve your language skills, see the Language Courses section for more details.

AEO is highly recommended to volunteer with. These are some of the characteristics a volunteer to seek before volunteer with us

Our services are highly rated and trusted due to our hardworking and noble management. Our past volunteers have rated the skills of hardship and trust to be one of the best on the continent when it comes to placement and hosting of volunteers and we are still working very hard to be the best among the rest.

Safety and Security is AEO’s major concern. We therefore provide maximum safety and security for volunteers. Our ways of choosing host families for a volunteer is to first of all have a background check of every host family and also the location of the house. We take host families through different check-up procedure before handling volunteers under their care.

On your arrival at the airport, volunteers would be welcomed by a representative of our organization. Identity and other details of the above representative will be sent to you two (2) weeks before your travel. They will take you to the volunteer accommodation and introduce you to your new home away from home, your local hosts and fellow volunteers. Before beginning your volunteer placement, you will attend a program orientation which is hosted by the local team to give you an introduction to the local culture and customs, safety advice, transport options, rules and expectations, your placement, and weekend travel opportunities. Our local team are available 24/7 to provide support to you during your volunteer program, so whether you are traveling solo or with a group of people, you know you will always be well looked after.

Our desire and motive is to unite the people in the world to joint hands to eradicate poverty and help projecting the development of the African society and the world as a whole. We therefore need not to keep the running of the NGO hidden but rather exhibit a true transparency of the state of every detail since the organization and volunteers are concern.

Our program does not prevent a volunteer from traveling during the weekends nor at his/her leisure. Volunteers are entitles to go sightseeing during the weekends. Visiting a country without exploring the beautiful aesthetic places will not be of no use so the organization always encourages volunteers to find a place of their choice to tour or can suggest to the organization of the places and when they want to go sightseeing. The organization is willing to provide you with a tour guide if a volunteer desire or can go alone.
