Destiny Volunteers: Volunteer work in Ghana, Africa
In April 2007, Master Emmanuel Baah - Fenning established Destiny Health Aid Club: the first and only Health Club at the University of Ghana, Legon.

His intention was to improve the health awareness of ordinary Ghanaian students. Due to the huge popularity and the desire of Legon's students to share their knowledge, the Club was extended into a volunteering society for health education: Destiny Volunteers (officially "Destiny Life Savers Association"). With the help of UK partner Katie Hardyment, Destiny Volunteers has extended to become an officially recognized international volunteering organisation aimed at improving the health, education(through teaching placements in schools, donation of educational materials etc), research, construction, intercultural programs, environmental issues, farming and well-being of people living in deprived communities of Ghana. The projects use the knowledge, enthusiasm and good will of Ghanaian and foreign volunteers.

Another key aim of the projects is to increase understanding, promote Cultural exchange and build friendships between Africans, specifically Ghanaians and Europeans, Americans, and Asians. The voluntary projects have a serious purpose as well as a fun element to them. Join Destiny volunteers and make a real difference to people's lives in Ghana, while having an incredible experience and making life-long memories and friends.
