The Salisbury group will be traveling to Ghana from June 5-16, 2019. As a Global Education Squad the group will partner with an underserved school in the community of Ho to improve educational outcomes. The group will stay at our private and safe home-base accommodations in Ho where our local professional staff provide all transportation, food, lodging, and activities. Each afternoon the group will enjoy guided cultural activities in the surrounding area as well as exchanges and soccer matches with the RIGHT TO DREAM ACADEMY. On the weekend the group will take an overnight excursion to Cape Coast, Elmira Castle, and Kakum National Park.
