For Volunteer Community Development Projects
Once you have confirmed your booking and your deposit has been cleared we will send you a comprehensive information pack which will detail most of the important destination, health and preparation issues you need to consider prior to departure and request details of your flights, if we don’t already have them, passport and visa information etc.
About 4 weeks before you depart we will give you details about the other volunteers on the project, the specific nature of the project and the name of the village where you will be living an contact details for your friends and family.
We will undoubtedly call you during the lead up to your volunteer project just to ensure that all your preparations are going well and we are of course available to you to answer any query or concern no matter how small or large.
Once you arrive at your destination airport a member of our Crew or the regional manager of the country, will be there to meet you and transfer you to your project. They will also be available throughout the project to assist you and to ensure you return to your city of departure at the end of your volunteer project.
