The total cost is between $2,500 and $3,000. This cost covers the cost of the plane ticket, transportation, food, drinks, and lodging. You do not need any extra money unless you want to buy an awesome gift to bring home.
How does the cost break down? It is pretty simple.
The estimated cost is decided by the following:
1. Cost of flight: Between $1,100-$1,900 (round rip) is the cost depends on what time of the year you travel. *This cost is does not include daily expenses.
2. Cost of daily expenses: The cost per day is approximately $150 per day. Remember this covers EVERYTHING you will need. *So if the trip is 7 days; then you can figure $150 X 7 =$1050.

4. What will we be doing in Ghana? Besides having the time of our lives, we will be working with the Touch A Life Center. While we are there we will spend time with the kids and work on various projects or workshops with the kids and staff.
5. Do I have to have training in a specific field? No; everyone is invited to join us. There will be lots of opportunities to participate. All you need is a great attitude and a willingness to help.
6. We are currently in the progress of arranging our date of travel. If you are thinking about traveling with us, it might be helpful for you to look into what is needed to obtain the necessary shots and paperwork. This way you will have lots of time to plan and save.
