Your primary duty as a volunteer is to spread awareness of HIV/AIDS to the people of Ghana. To do so, you will work with traditional Ghanaian dancers, drummers, and local Sankofa Center staff, in order to develop a program specific to your skills and preferences. Each program is unique.
Our Sankofa Center van will transport you to and from dance-drama rehearsals and to the schools and villages for performances.
Some volunteers work in collaboration with our local dance and drumming troupe to choreograph and perform the HIV/AIDS dance-drama using preexisting montages as well as new choreography. Others teach the “HIV/AIDS 101″ curriculum, conduct pre- and post-interview surveys to measure the impact of our program on youths, and some do a combination of performing and teaching.
