Around 5 million people in Ghana live with a disability, which is around a fifth of the population. Ghana has recently introduced a nationwide inclusive education policy that works on two fronts. Firstly, enforcing the rights of children with disabilities to education. Secondly, educating parents through community sensitisation programs. Resources are now being invested in addressing these issues on a national scale.

The government is making big steps to support people with special needs. However, the facilities that support them are still understaffed and PMGY volunteers bring enthusiasm and inspiration to help fill the void.

"The support given while in Bali was also amazing! The family were very involved with the scheme and make the utmost effort to know everyone and get to know you. Also, they want the best for you when going out on the weekends offering advice on where to go and care for your wellbeing. All the coordinators were also amazing, so kind, caring and welcoming ensuring you know where they are if you need extra support. It’s great for beginner travelers providing support but also independence. I honestly cannot rate it enough!”⁠⠀

Ich werde jeden Tag von so vielen Kindern mit offenen Armen empfangen 😍. Die Kinder die ich unterrichte zeigen so viel Interesse an mein Leben und der Außenwelt. Es erwärmt mein Herz so sehr zu sehen wie glücklich und dankbar sie sind. 🌸🙏🏻✨
Danke #pmgybali für diese Erfahrung

This beautiful little human sat so calmly in a swing outside the slum school and clinic where I’ll be volunteering at for the next two weeks. What a humbling and eye opening experience I’ve had thus far.

Such a lovely update to wake up to! ❤

Amazing news for Sumit and Akash, two of the orphanage children I had the pleasure of working with a few years ago.

They have both passed their annual exams! 🥇

Well done boys!! 🎉

I'm so proud to have been a part of the programme and proud of Vishy who continues to do incredible things for all the slum and orphanage families and children!

As David Attenborough said, “Are we happy to suppose that our grandchildren may never be able to see an elephant except in a picture book?”⁠
⁠
Today, Thailand’s wild population elephant population is struggling for survival. The wild elephant population of Thailand is estimated at 2,200, living in open grasslands and dense rainforests spread over the country.⁠
⁠
Through inspiring initiatives such as @wildlife_friends_foundation, elephants have the freedom they deserve to live within a safe and natural environment.⁠

Postcards from Nepal 🇳🇵 🐒 Nepal was my first glimpse of Asia. I was so excited to visit my first Buddhist temple. This is Swayambhunath Stupa also known as Monkey Temple. How many monkeys can you spot in these pictures? 🐒 🐵

Sri Lanka this April? Oh go on then… 😍

Volunteering abroad is currently exempt from the UK travel ban and participants are now arriving in Sri Lanka on a regular basis. If you need a break right now you can join a purpose-led trip and help make a difference in Ambalangoda.

PMGY have government certified accommodation and protocols in place to ensure a safe and meaningful experience while in Sri Lanka.

Two pictures that sum up Nepal 🇳🇵 we saw so many people washing their clothes in Pokhara Lake. Also, imagine trusting someone so much you’d hang out a window with only them holding onto your legs 🙈🙈

✨ This year’s #WorldMentalHealthDay comes at a time when our daily lives have changed considerably as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The past months have brought many challenges for communities around the world.

Investment in mental health programmes at a national and international level, which have already suffered from years of chronic underfunding, is now more important than it has ever been.

🙌 Thank you to all the PMGY mental health students who have helped educate local communities and promoted health awareness worldwide!

Let me introduce you to a... Sadhu. Holy men that have given up all materialistic things. ➡️ SWIPE (Although, not smoking apparently) 🚬

At certain festivals they are allowed to smoke c@nnab!s at the temple to imitate Lord Shiva. In 2011 they were banned from SELLING it at temples 🙈
