How My Body Works Camp
August 11- August 25, 2026
In Humjibre, Ghana, junior high students are eager to learn—but few have had a chance to explore basic anatomy or health science in a fun, hands-on way.
This session gives you the opportunity to:
- Lead interactive sessions on key body systems
- Build simple, reusable models and activities
- Create fun, memorable ways to learn about health
- Collaborate with GHEI staff in a safe, supportive environment
You may even inspire the next generation of health workers!
