Once in Garu you will stay at a local catholic guest house that is charging us $25/night for queen sized bedrooms with a/c and toilet/shower, $15/night for a double with fans and toilet/shower. It will just be up to your team to decide what level they want to stay at and we will make the appropriate arrangements.

A/C rooms are limited.

The guest house will prepare meals for reasonable prices so evening meals will be taken there.  The team will prepare your own breakfast and lunches will prepared at the site by local members.

The cost for transport between the hotel and the job site will be minimal and we will arrange for taxi service or vans to get the team there.  We usually use a $3 per person for Breakfast, $5 per person for lunch, and $7 per person for dinner.  This gives us $15 per day for food which will also cover the occasional eating out.  

Any time the team is traveling for special events or for the side trips, it will cost the team a little more.  Upon the return of the team to Accra, arrangements can be made to take the team to the cape coast for some relaxation on the beach at Anomabo.

-entrance to Kakum is about $8 each

-entrance to Elmina Castle is about the same at $8 each

-transportation between Anomabo and Accra is about $150 flat rate for 20 people on a point to point charter

 

These are some average numbers but can give you an idea of the cost and the fun things available for the team.  Not including the extra excursions we should have ground costs average out to about $50 per day per person.  We would encourage you to come for a minimum of 10 days and maximum of 17 days.   We suggest you arrive on a Thursday, get up to the project on Friday and get acclimated then you have one full day of orientation and some work at the site before worshipping with our local churches on Sunday.  

This helps your team to get two Sundays to be with the local people and to do some ministry activities as well as get in 7 to 10 good days of work before taking a day or two to relax on your way out of the country. This seems like a good schedule for teams and gets you the most exposure as well as an effective work week.

We really need this project to move forward as the 60 churches across the district need a center for training and for celebrations.  We hope you chose to join us for the glory of God and the building of His kingdom. For more information please send an email to Tim Eby at teby@awfcon.org.

We hope you get involved.
