I realise that ubersite is not traditionally the forum for posting this kind of thing, and I'll probably annoy loads of people by doing so, especially since I have already posted this once. My rationale is that ubersite is about just letting a website exist and see what happens, so anything goes and that the project described is short by a few people and this seems like an ideal way to spread the word to loads of people. So, I'm not sorry to have posted this, and I'm sorry if you're irritated by it. I've tried to include as little in the way of person information as possible just for security-type reasons.
From July 1st to 31st 2006, R.V.O. is running its annual 'Summer-Escapes Ghana' programme, which allows you to spend four weeks in Ghana doing community work and exploring the country.
Week one is an orientation week of language-learning and cultural immersion in Kumasi.
Weeks two and three are community-work weeks, in which you teach kids English, maths, sanitation and the like and visit various relevant places, like a local orphanage.
In week four you get to explore Ghana, visiting a variety of places, like the Owabi forest, Cape Coast and the Ashanti palace-museum.
The programme costs $1500(£850), not including flights. Because of the nature of the project, it would be possible to fundraise the costs if you're skint.
You are also able to go as a small group if you don't want to go alone.
If you want some more info, just email me (martyn.rvo.at.gmail.com). My dad is the director of a charity that works in Africa (including Ghana) and he not only knows the guy who runs the RVO programme (and can thus vouch for his non dodgy-ness) but also has access to various bits and bobs of extra information that I can pass on to you.
Don't act too slowly though - the deadline for applications is fast approaching.
Oh and if you did want to pass this on to anyone you think might be interested, I wouldn't complain.
Thanks!

I have thought about your generous proposal and decided to give you a -2. A -2 may not be as valuable as the hundreds of pounds that you were asking for but for now it is all that I can afford.
By the way I would have been more convinced about the legitimacy of this if you had told me that some people had died recently and that if only I would give all of my bank account details and other personal info then you would split the money with me. Because you know it would totally suck if that money had to go to the government since that is the law in bullshit bullshit country.
