Rentals are ideal as long as you are getting the right option.
If you don't, you are not going to be a happy tenant, and it is going to be one long search before you can nail down a good option that works for you.
If you are in this boat right now, you will need to think about going with an Auckland property manager rental that is worth it. Here are the best parts about these property rentals in Auckland and why you have to give them a chance as you begin to look around in the city.
Beautiful Properties
Beauty is something that matters when it comes to where you are residing. You don't want to walk through the door every evening and realize the property is not as good as you want it to be. This is a real worry for those who are particular about where they reside on a day-to-day basis.
If you want to go with an ideal option that is going to glow when you walk through the door, you will want to take a look at these rental properties.
They are perfect, and the value is there for you and your requirements.
Space is something everyone wants more of, and that is where your mind is going to go as soon as you take a look at the market. You will want to go through the options and figure out which one is going to yield the most space as time goes on.
If that is what you want to go with, you will know these properties are going to match up with your needs.
They are going to provide ample space, and you will be able to decorate them to your heart's content without having to worry about a single thing.
Where do you want to reside when it comes to Auckland? You'll want to stay in the best part of the city because that is best for your needs. If that is what you're after, these are the rental properties that are going to help you out. These are property rentals that are going to work like a charm and fit your needs.
You will know the rates are going to be ideal and you will adore how they look from the inside. These well-located property rentals are a must as you look to sift through the options.
Rental properties are all about making a selection that is going to make you happy in the long-term. You don't want to reside in a property that is going to bore you or isn't going to add value to your life. If you want the best, you will have to go to the best.
These are properties that are going to blow you away and make sure you end up making a choice in the end. You will know these are as good as it gets and the value you're going to see will be hard to refuse.

Making Your Mark in Life
By David Dey ~ Posted Mon, 11/05/2007 - 2:20pm
Heroes come in the form of everyday people we look up to; they have an idea of changing the world or the community they live in and commit themselves to accomplishing something noble. These everyday people are merely citizens that set out on a journey to solve a societal, political or economic problem or need.
We can leave a lasting mark in life by serving as model citizens.
There is always a significant problem or need that warrants intervention; these issues are all around us if we simply take the time to care. Before looking to others to solve the problem, consider how your life and talents can be used to develop a solution; we refer to this as seizing the opportunity.
A few years ago, I began examining my life and work. The process revealed the need to focus my efforts on real solutions and to avoid activities that didn't get at the core of a problem.
The mark you leave can have a personal benefit and have a profound impact upon your community. Perhaps the best place to start is by asking yourself a key question; what is the problem that keeps emerging around you? Are you willing to make your mark by spearheading a solution and live by seizing the opportunity instead watching it go by?

Second Generation Classics
Iola 2017 to feature modern collector vehicles
The Iola Car Show has a long tradition of honoring some of the oldest vehicles in the industry.
As the show has grown throughout the years, its size and the public's general interest in various parts of the hobby have played a role in dictating the direction of the show.
With the inclusion of Second Generation Collector Vehicles, or Neo-Classics, 2017 will be no exception.
"When Guy Carpenter approached us with his hopes to see this class of vehicles included in the show, we took the opportunity to sit down with him and learn more about his passion," said Joe Opperman, marketing director for Iola. "Guy is not only an enthusiast of this class, but also somewhat of a historian."
Included in the Second Generation class are such vehicles as the Avanti II, Clenet, Duesenberg II, Excalibur, Pray Auburn, Pray Cord, Shay Model A, Thunderbird and Zimmer.
"Neo-Classics were, in the beginning, a modern vehicle with classic styling," explained Guy, "They became a new niche vehicle with their own unique following."
One of the biggest items that separates the Iola Car Show from many other shows is size. Spread out over their 300 acre venue, that size affords the attendee the luxury of variety.
"The more we thought about it, it just made sense to include this group in the show," Opperman said.
Anyone interested in sharing their Second Generation Collector Vehicles at Iola are encouraged to contact and register with the show.

Proof of Life
Helping Social Programs Deliver Value to the Right People
Delivering pensions and other social grants to the right people in emerging countries is not an easy task. A large part of the target population is the elderly who live in remote small villages with no local branches for secure payments. Benefits fraud is a common occurrence.
Payment companies offer electronic solutions using debit cards or similar payment methods for easy money transfer. These solutions reduce administration costs by distributing all grant payments electronically and improve security by using PCI standards and performing strong authentication. Biometrics are gaining popularity as an authentication method, and the use of biometrics can dramatically reduce fraud. In addition, these new systems are bringing the world of electronic financial services to a large population of people who were previously unable to take advantage of new technologies.
Integrators are looking for technologies that provide security and convenience for the beneficiaries. Travel to fingerprint sensor equipped locations where they must wait on long lines is a serious hardship for many senior citizens.
Why Voice ID?
AGNITIO Voice ID technology provides secure and convenient proof of life authentication and enables enrollment of beneficiaries in their own language. A periodic verification call is enough to receive the pension payment in their debit card or other banking instrument. The payment can be retrieved at any ATM when needed.
AGNITIO Voice ID is secure providing high level of accuracy and making impossible the use recordings to impersonate the beneficiary with its proprietary anti-spoofing technology. It is universal, because the elderly can authenticate from any phone available in the area. And it is natural, because just repeating a phrase in their native language is enough as a proof of life. KIVOX 360 is the right product to enable Voice ID authentication in electronic social grants payment solutions.

Good day
I have a prospective web client who needs a website db to display data that he changes constantly (weekly) on an excel spreadsheet. He's going to be updating this data "on the fly" while visiting from business to business, so an internet connection is not the most reliable; he will have an ipad with excel doc that he directly types into. He does save it to skydrive.
His idea is that the website db "grabs" the data constantly from the excel doc stored on skydrive. I told him that most likely was either a.) not possible, or b.) not the simplest solution. I am guessing that some sort of "import" tool would work better.
What would the simplest way be to solve this issue? Is there a simple script that allows for importing excel into Mysql db? Thank you!

The Age newspaper article is here. Lots of other interesting stories and media about Nightingale are here.
This will open a new email window with the fields completed including a template letter that you are free to use, add to, or replace. Please ensure you replace the <FULL NAME> and <MAILING ADDRESS> lines.
If this link doesn't open a new email window, click here to fill out a form.
Why writing a letter of support is an important and powerful way of supporting Nightingale?
The Victorian Planning System is geared towards giving those that object to proposals the most powerful voice. And, while it is important to ensure that individuals and groups are able to voice their concerns, this means that those who support the proposal are not given many opportunities to articulate this to the decision makers.
Writing a letter of support gives Councillors and planning staff a better understanding of the amount of support that exists for Nightingale projects and could provide them with the confidence to take the courage to make a positive decision (without fear of voter backlash).

Ali Bhutto ( 5 January 1928 – 4 April 1979) was a Great Leader and a Pakistani politician
who served as the fourth President of Pakistan from 1971 to 1973 and as
the ninth Prime Minister of Pakistan from 1973 to 1977. He was the
founder of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), the largest and most
influential political party in Pakistan. His daughter Benazir Bhutto
also served twice as prime minister. She was assassinated on 27 December
Educated at the University of California, Berkeley, in the United States
and University of Oxford in the United Kingdom, Bhutto was noted for his
economic initiatives and authoring Pakistan's nuclear programme. He was
executed in 1979 after the Supreme Court of Pakistan sentenced him to
death for authorising the murder of a political opponent, in a move that
many believe was done under the directives of General Muhammad
Zia-ul-Haq. On his return to Pakistan, Bhutto started practicing Law at
Dingomal's. In 1958, he joined President Iskander Mirza's Cabinet as
Commerce Minister. He was the youngest Minister in Ayub Khans Cabinet.
In 1963, he took over the post of Foreign Minister from Muhammad Ali

I'm a final year event management student at Bournemouth University and that means one thing...Dissertation time! instead of following the monotonousness regime of making a questionnaire and asking random people to fill it out, I thought, hey! why not get on a plane and go to a festival that's never happened before on my own! So I did! And what an adventure it was. The cost of the trip kind of swayed me once I had booked it as I had to get a credit card to pay the trip off, although I only decided a month before hand that I actually wanted to go.. Anyway, after a few weeks of preparation, buying ski gear and anxiously awaiting my week a lone in the Alps, the day came! Prior to the trip I had posted on the events Facebook page to see if anyone else was going on their own.. I was in luck! A guy called Nick from California was starting his European tour there and another graduate from Cambridge called Zak whose very into his Trance! We spoke for a few weeks and I met zak at the airport, we flew out together, got to the resort at about 10:30 pm local time, by then a lot of people were in the party mood! However i wanted to sleep, My hotel was wayyyy up a hill, bit of a trek but hey I am in the mountains after all! Anyway, I slept, woke up to go to my first ever snow boarding lesson! which was horrible! horrible horrible horrible. I gave up after the first day. However!

Book Review : On Borrowed WingsThursday, October 11, 2007
In Stony Creek, "a granite town at a time when granite was going out of fashion", the class lines are sharply drawn. There are the Cottagers, vacationing rich families and the quarrymen, a rough-tough set of poor local families composed mainly of immigrants. Adele Pietra, daughter of a quarryman who married a Cottager's daughter, belongs to neither world. Yet her mother, who keeps aloof from other quarrymen's families and still acts like a Cottager despite her fallen status, declares Adele's future to be a quarryman's wife like her own.
Coming from a woman who deeply resents her daughter for not just looking, thinking and acting like her immigrant Italian father but also for usurping her place in his affections, this pronouncement almost feels like a curse. But Adele with her sharp mind, photographic memory and a penchant for dreaminess just like her dad, doesn't like this future so much, even as her father's deteriorating health brings this dreaded future ever so closer. Meanwhile her brother, Charles, their mother's favorite, has always been destined and prepared for bigger and better things, the launching pad for which is gaining an admission into Yale University.
A sudden twist in the story comes when, in a sudden mining accident, both Charles and Adele's father are killed. Adele's dreaded future, that of being a quarryman's wife, is almost at the door when, in a sudden show of strength, she overrules her mother and shows a steely determination to better her lot by proposing to take on her brother Charles' identity and study at Yale. Coming at a time when Yale didn't take female students, this was a bold move indeed, almost foolhardy.
With her slim figure, bound breasts and tomboyish ways, Adele finds it surprisingly easy to become Charlie, just "one of the boys". She's soon gamboling around town, playing pranks, getting good grades and finding her feet in a new environment – all as part of a cheerful foursome of friends and fellow undergraduates. But complications soon arise in the form of compulsory physical examinations, a growing attraction towards one of her new friends, an ongoing shaky financial situation and having to date girls in order to fit in.
Before long, Adele finds herself bogged down with the burden of her pretense and frustrated with its cause. Further adding to her dissatisfaction is the work she's doing for a twisted and bigoted eugenics professor who's determined to twist facts to prove that class and brains go hand-in-hand. Partly to disprove him and partly as a tribute to her roots, Adele/Charlie finds solace in teaching a local Italian family and through their passion for learning, recovers her own.
But how long can Adele continue this precarious charade before it overwhelms her?
Author Chandra Prasad has written a story at once simple and powerful. Through Adele and her life, readers are made aware of a variety of socio-economic, racial, emotional and physical disparities that existed in that era (and which sadly persist to date). It's slow going at first, but once the pace picks up readers can't help but get immersed headfirst in this quicksand of a historical tale.
The town of Stony Creek sets the tone and in it we find a microscopic version of the larger picture. With heavy words and dreamy (almost poetic) descriptions, Prasad not only manages to bring life to the glittering but danger-filled rock quarry and indeed the mesmerizing stone itself, but also in the same vein, manages to paint an evocative and accurate picture of a small town that's at once racially and economically segregated. Similarly, life in Yale and New Haven with its mix of old-world elegance and sleaziness is captured with deft words.
Initially, the central character of Adele feels pale, almost washed-out in comparison to the beauty and larger-than-life-figure of her elegant mother. As the story progresses, we begin to see surprising hints of the lively and bold creature underneath that quiet, dreamy and mostly-subdued self, until it comes into full-blown life when Adele begins her charade. And in this subtle way, Prasad manages to covey Adele's growth of character from a naïve, dreamy young girl to a confident, wise young woman.
While many others would taken the safe way out and married a quarryman, Prasad's protagonist takes the path 'less trodden' and resorts to a desperate but courageous camouflage in order to take her life in the direction she wants. This is not only admirable, but also makes for enjoyable reading as Prasad presents in lively terms the college life of a young male student seen through the eyes of young woman pretending to be one.
But it's not all fun and games. This densely layered novel is a testament of that era, integrating the growing tension from the slowing of the economy with the twisted eugenics movement that placed the blame on the shoulders of the immigrant community while labeling them as inferior. Sitting on the cusp of this divide, Adele's dilemma remains whether in Stony Creek or New Haven.
All in all, this is a story that begins slowly but ends in such a way to leave readers desperate to know what happens next in Adele/Charlie's life. Hopefully author Chandra Prasad will continue this insightful saga. Entertaining and educating, this well-researched historical is full of surprises and stealthily worms its way into a reader's heart before the reader even knows it. A five star read, in short.

Miss Sandy does such a good job of describing it here on her post that I'm going to borrow it :
The first item I have chosen for the goodie box is a tiny vintage wooden hand painted trinket box. This trinket box represents the book, The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett. This book is generally viewed as one of the most influential books in children's literature..Have fun entering this really interesting and inspiring giveaway
... In this book the main character, Mary, has been orphaned and sent to live with her Uncle, Lord Craven. At one point in the story Mary approaches Lord Craven and petitions, "Can I have a bit of earth?", to which Lord Craven replies, "A bit of earth? ". Mary explains, "To plant seeds in. To make things grow.".
... Inside this tiny trinket box I have placed a few pink silk and organza rose petals upon which rest some strange round black seeds....The enclosed seeds are from a flowering plant that is four generations old in my family.... They are called 4 O'clocks because that is the time of day they bloom.

The winner will be awarded with a Penguin contract and an advance, $25,000, and a 50″ plasma TV and Digital camera from Hewlett-Packard. Gather.com's prize money was only $5,000.00.
Only the first 5000 manuscripts will be considered for this contest and submissions are accepted from October 1 through January 14th. Like the Gathers contest, Amazon readers can rate the semi-finalists with the customers choosing the winning novel in March 2008.

This unique villa was built between 1878 and 1880. Theophil Hansen (1813-1891) was a famous Viennese architect, who planned a lot of palais on the famous "Ringstrasse" in Vienna.
This stately home is located in the South of Niederösterreich - Lower Austria, near the Semmering and is surrounded by a wonderful park.
The distance to Vienna is about 75 km, the distance to Graz approximately 140 km.
Ternitz is a town in the district of Neunkirchen in the Austrian state of Lower Austria. Situated at the confluence of the Sierning stream and the River Schwarza, at the western end of the Steinfeld plain, it is a fairly large town by population (2004 estimates place it at 15,158), especially by Austrian standards, yet it covers an area more than half the size of Washington, D.C. In it are several villages, called Katastralgemeinden, that are about the size of US towns: Dunkelstein, Flatz, Mahrersdorf, Raglitz, Rohrbach am Steinfelde, St. Johann am Steinfelde, Sieding, Holzweg, Pottschach, and Putzmannsdorf.
Ternitzs first documented mention was in 1352 and has town status since 1948. It is traditionally known as an industrial town, being home of the Schoeller-Bleckmann company, which was split up into 19 separate companies in 1989. Today Ternitz is still a busy town with 138 companies and 6383 employees.

The LightSpeed Foundation represents the possibility that advanced technology is a global environment in which possibilty and inspiration thrive, for the furtherance of education, medicine, the environment, and human achievement.
Working through advanced technology enterprises, the LightSpeed Foundation creates and implements breakthrough programs that transcend the boundaries between corporation and community, between what is probable for a young person's future... and what is possible.
Through the magic of advanced technology, young people discover that their future possibility is a creative act, as distinctly unique as they are, and as potentially real as their responsible actions determine.
The LightSpeed Foundation enables corporate entities to contribute to their communities in a way that makes a profound difference in the lives of young people, and in the lives of their employees and their neighbors.
About the Founder, David Taggart:
Mr. Taggart's leadership experience spans over 25 years starting with an initial career in the construction industry. Wanting to continue working with his hands, and fascinated with how materials could be manipulated to deliver varied properties, led him to focus on a BS in Metallurgical Engineering at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, and then on to a MS in Materials Engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York.
His advanced materials and program management career spans twenty years starting at Hercules Aerospace (now Alliant Techsystems, Inc.) working on a variety of advanced composite structures programs, and later at the Lockheed Martin Skunk Works, the country?s premier advanced aerospace technology development organization. While at the Skunk Works, Mr. Taggart evolved a design and manufacturing philosophy that delivered dramatic cost and weight reductions in advanced composite vehicle structures and a program management and product development strategy that builds on the best of the Skunk Works legacy, yet is tailored specifically for breakthrough results in product and technology development. Teams that Mr. Taggart led were responsible for numerous design and manufacturing firsts for the aerospace industry.
His desire to share his enjoyment with his work with young people in a meaningful way led him to create the LightSpeed program; a volunteer organization whose mission is to provide a breakthrough in what is possible for a young person's future. Funded by Lockheed Martin, the program continues today, 12 years after its creation, producing weekend workshops for middle school students that expose them to the exciting environment of advanced technology in a way that enables them to envision and responsibly act on careers that inspire them.
The opportunity to apply advanced materials to applications beyond aerospace, and contribute directly to the growth of a soon to be public company, led Mr. Taggart to leave the Skunk Works for Fiberite, Inc. in 1997. While Fiberite was acquired just prior to going public, Mr. Taggart created a new development arm for the new corporation, providing CytecFiberite with an applications engineering capability for the first time.
Then, at Hypercar, Inc., Mr. Taggart focused on the design development, validation and production application of a unique foundation platform vehicle technology suite that could deliver everything consumers expect of modern vehicles, while also providing extreme efficiency and zero emissions. The technology suite was required to achieve dramatic weight reduction compared with conventional vehicles and included digital vehicle control and information management, a patented advanced composite vehicle structure and processing approach, and a hydrogen based fuel cell hybrid powertrain. His involvement with the automotive industry has spawned new thinking in terms of overall vehicle efficiency and reduced emissions.
Over the years, Mr. Taggart?s efforts and inventions have impacted a variety of aerospace, naval, and automotive products, and involved customers from commercial, Navy, Air Force, DARPA, and international organizations. Mr. Taggart has a unique ability to create and lead teams to achieve breakthrough results in engineering or business development. He has applied this effective product development process to diverse and challenging products by evaluating complex situations, devising clearly defined implementation plans, development strategies and budgets, and building and empowering innovative and motivated teams to invent solutions that are by most measures... unpredictable!

Open omelets are beautiful, and you can use all kinds of ingredients. Jarlsberg cheese is sweet and nutty. It takes three years to bring out all these distinct flavors in the cheese. Be sure to buy a cheese with flavor. There are just too many bland cheeses on the market.
Serves 4
- 1
Cut the broccoli into pieces. Peel and cut the shallots in thin slices. Whisk together the eggs and milk in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- 2
Sauté the broccoli and shallots in a little rapeseed oil and butter. Add the egg mixture and cook until the omelet begins to "settle". Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded Jarlsberg over it and let it melt into the omelet. Top with grated horseradish.
- 3
Serve directly from the pan. Perfect for a quick lunch!

No Not the New Order Song- Apparantly it is Today- the most depressing day of the year- Official!
Well, I don't feel too bad- the exercise programme continues, I have not taken up smoking, and although things political are a bit dull at the moment, I have little doubt that normal service will be resumed.
Admittedly my work colleague has been quoting Julian and Sandy from Round the Horne, but I am sure that he can get treatment at the Marine Commando Club, Paddington- if required.

270-18th Street, Brandon, Manitoba, R7B, Canada
Brandon Citizens' Science BuildingKDCKnowles-Douglas Student Union CentreCentre d'Union d'Étudiant de Knowles-DouglasHall de BrandonKDCBrandon Hall
1922/01/01 to 1923/12/31
The Brandon Citizens' Science Building, a 3 1/2-storey brick structure built in 1922-23, fronts onto Brandon's busy 18th Street. The building's prominence within the campus of Brandon University is reinforced by a juxtaposed south-end addition (1985-87), and by its role as the home of the students' union. The provincial designation applies to the building and the lot upon which it sits.
The Brandon Citizens' Science Building, with its strong vertical massing and sober brick facades, is a good example of Late Gothic architecture in Manitoba, one that recalls enduring efforts by the Baptist Union of Western Canada to make post-secondary education available to the rapidly growing population in western Manitoba from the 1880s onward. Designed by Brandon architect David Marshall, the building's subdued Collegiate Gothic styling is characterized by minimally decorated surfaces, a steep roofline and crenellated entranceway. The facility is an important link to the origins of Brandon University, in particular Brandon College, established with Baptist support in 1899. The science building, financed by private subscriptions, was central to that development. Together with Brandon College and Clark Hall, this building has remained a focal point of campus life as well as an architectural and historical landmark in Brandon.
Source: Manitoba Heritage Council Minute: May 4, 1991
Key elements that define the heritage character of the Brandon Citizens' Science Building site include:
- the building's prominent campus location, facing east onto 18th Street, with Brandon College and Clark Hall to the north
- the well-groomed site as a seamless component of the larger campus, featuring clusters of mature trees, grassed expanses, paved walkways and a formal garden area to the east
Key exterior elements that define the building's Collegiate Gothic architecture include:
- the 3 1/2-storey box-like massing, featuring locally produced sand-coloured brick, a rusticated Manitoba limestone foundation and a steeply pitched gable roof punctuated by two wall dormers
- the subdued two-storey entrance porch rising to a crenellated parapet with limestone coping; also featuring stepped-back buttresses with limestone caps on each front corner, a large limestone staircase and pointed-arched wooden doors deeply recessed in a smooth-cut limestone compound arch with label moulding
- the rectangular windows on all but the windowless west wall, in singles or pairs, many double-hung and featuring multi-pane sashes with darkly painted frames and glazing bars to contrast with the brick, limestone sills and soldier-coursed brick lintels; also the tiny rectangular windows in the wall dormers and the third-floor pointed-arched window on the south facing
- the minimal details, including the limestone insignia above the entrance depicting the lamp of knowledge surrounded by a Greek inscription which translates to 'Speaking the Truth in Love', the buttresses at the southeast and southwest corners, cedar shingles, etc.
Key elements defining the building's no-frills interior layout, finishes and details include:
- the rectangular plan with some configurations intact, including the large entrance foyer and associated return staircases
- the second-floor boardroom featuring heavy wooden doors, wooden moulding, some intact blackboards and a large maple-topped table

Download Overview Download FAQ
SAVE'S 'sports for development' project is predominantly based at Maranatha Community School, on the estuary at Ada Foah. The school has been established for several years now and is the only source of education for children in the highly deprived fishing village surrounding it. The school currently provides basic education for students from the nursery level, through kindergarten, to primary 6 and it hopes to expand to the Junior Secondary level in forthcoming years. Children learn all basic subjects including Maths, English, Science, RME, Citizenship and Dangbe.
Sports volunteers will take on a number of roles depending upon their particular interests and specialism. The students have scheduled PE lessons every Friday and sometimes at other points during the week. Volunteers can take full control of these sessions which are usually unstructured and unmonitored by local teachers- teach the children warm up activities and stretches, play games and try new activities with them. In addition to this, the school warmly welcomes volunteers wishing to teach swimming to small groups of students in the estuary – an essential skill for those living so close to the water, learning to fish and possibly taking it up as a way to earn a living in the future.
After school coaching sessions are also welcomed by the students, particularly the school has a football team, and matches can be arranged following coaching with a nearby school in the estuary. The children also have a keen interest in volleyball and are more than willing to try new skills that you can teach them – try showing them something different if you have it to offer.
Project highlights
You will have the opportunity to teach children core values, sportsmanship, and team spirit. You will also get to organize sports events and other fun days while maybe even teaching them a new sport they would never have known of or seen. Through your involvement in these activities, you will become a part of the community and learn about their culture from an insiders' perspective. Above all, you will make a difference to a child's future.
Please note that although there will be a large sporting element to your project, children will be in lessons from 8am until 2pm, and volunteers will be expected to assist in the classrooms when they are not conducting sports based activities.
Project Details
Location: Ghana/Ada
Minimum duration: 2 weeks
Volunteer Requirements
• CV/Resumé
• Police clearance/ CRB check
• Basic level of competency in English
• Copy of return flight itinerary
• Acceptance subject to availability
Volunteer Tasks
Volunteers will help in the daily running of the projects for example:
• One on One classroom assistance
• Teaching classes and teachers
• Running fun days and sports programs
• Teaching sports
• Educating children in life lessons such as HIV, drugs etc.
• Helping in schools
Volunteers will work 3 – 5 days a week with the children.
What's Included
- Airport pick up
- Orientation and welcome BBQ
- Three meals a day
- Transport to and from the projects
- 24 hour support and supervisor on project
- Donation to the NPO to assist with projects
- Certificate of appreciation
Volunteers will be staying at Maranatha Beach Camp. The thatched houses are located on the beach and sleep 1 to 2 people per room. The beds consist of a basic mattress and a mosquito net. There is no electricity and volunteers can use a shower (cold) or swim in the lagoon.
You will receive 3 meals a day. We usually employ a local cook to provide meals, but you will be encouraged to help with cooking so that everyone is involved. The meals will be mainly traditional dishes such as Fufu (cassava), jollof rice and plantains (green bananas). The Ghanaian diet is full of starchy foods with rice, beans, maize meal and root vegetables served with simply prepared meat and locally available vegetables. If you do independent travel at the weekends you will need to budget separately for food. If you stay at the project site on weekends then you are free to use the facilities to cook your own food or eat out at local spots to try more dishes.
Volunteers are responsible for cooking their own food at weekends. Please help our crew by ensuring that if there are any foods items that we are running low on that they are notified in time for the weekly shop at the market, which you may enjoy visiting with the cook.
Our Project Leaders at your volunteer project can run through this suggested itinerary that you may want to do following your volunteer project. Read up on the following places in a Lonely Planet, Bradt Guide, Rough Guide, or whatever travel guide suits you best to get a full description of the history and culture of the areas you will visit.

Busted: <i>The Voice Australia</i>'s Prinnie in court
She appeared on The Voice and this year's Celebrity Apprentice, now Princess Malia Stevens, a.k.a "Prinnie", made an altogether less glamorous appearance - in Local Court.
The singer was caught behind the wheel of an unregistered car, driving with a suspended licence. This comes after a number of other driving offences that prohibited her from driving until mid-2013.
When she was pulled over for driving her unregistered VW Bora, she was unable to produce any form of ID other than a bank card.
According to the Daily Telegraph, Prinnie had been pulled over and given a warning earlier the same day. Clearly Prinnie really can't get by without her car.
After attempting to stall court proceedings by requesting the in-car video of the incident, the magistrate reportedly said he failed to see how the video "had any relevance whatsoever", but conceded that she was clearly happy to pay for the additional legal costs involved and he wouldn't stand in the way.
Prinnie is set to return to court for sentencing before the end of the month. Hopefully she stays well away from her VW until then.

Police in the southwest suburbs are looking for two men who may have been posing as police when they pulled over a driver and stole money from him.
Oak Lawn police say two men drove a black Chevy Tahoe in front of a car driven by an 18-year-old man near 95th and Parkside.
The men got out wearing vests, belts with gadgets on them and possibly badges.
As the driver was giving the men his license, they grabbed his wallet and turned their backs to him.
They returned the wallet and told him he was free to go.
The driver later realized he was missing nearly $50.
