With the official launch of the West Africa Institute volunteer program in September 2008, volunteers from all over the world have traveled to Sierra Leone to assist with existing projects and the development of new programs. Volunteers do everything from teaching reproductive health classes to teaching card games, from improving the website to improving the garden.
