How long do I have to commit to?
This would depend on which position you are applying for but generally if it is a leadership role then we would want a minimum commitment of 12 months, ideally 2-3 years. For a nonleadership position you could commit to as little as 3 months.
Do I need to know the language of the country I am applying for?
Although it would be an advantage, it is not a requirement. All volunteers will be given informal on the job language training.
How much would I need to raise to cover my living expenses?
As we always try to make funds donated have the biggest effect on the children in our programs, we ask all volunteers to raise their own support so they can cover their living expenses while volunteering overseas. However, unlike in western nations, the cost of living is substantially lower. The largest expense is your airfares, ranging from approximately $1000 to $2300 depending on which country you choose to serve in. Assuming you live in one of the children’s homes, you wouldn’t be required to cover any rent or utilities but we do request a $50 - $80 per month (depending on which nation you will be volunteering in) donation towards food. If you chose to live outside the children’s home then these costs could rise substantially. We also recommend you take out health insurance to cover you if you got ill while outside your home nation. This is something you would need to enquire about as the cost varies depending on what level of cover you decide upon. In each country you will be required to obtain a visa, which average around $200 per year depending on the nation. Our national staff can help you with whatever paperwork is required to apply for visas. As a rough guide we recommend each volunteer have a minimum of $250 per month support plus the cost of airfares in place before they move overseas. Assistance can be given to all volunteers on ways to gain personal support and other fundraising ideas.
