During her time there she said that she found that the classrooms were too small, and so along with two other people they knocked down walls to turn a spare room that was not being used into another classroom.
She then went on to help create a crèche for 50 babies, structure classes into Kindergarten and Primary school levels, and set up Maths and English tests.

Joyte made several new friends while she was there, and hopes to meet up with some of them who are travelling after they finish volunteering in Ghana.
She said that she would like to return to Ghana, but may well go to Tanzania next as she has heard that they need Administrators.
She said that she would ‘definitely recommend volunteering to anyone’, and added that it is a ‘fantastic way to see a different side to a country’.
She feels that along with the other volunteers they ‘contributed a lot in a short space of time’, and that it has made her realise that ‘ there is more to life than work’.
We here at Original Volunteers are quite amazed by all that Joyte has achieved in such a short space of time, and look forward to hopefully arranging for her to volunteer in Tanzania in the future.
Hopefully, as a result of her efforts the school is now more spacious, organised, and structured Educationally.
Well done Joyte.
