 BEING A VOLUNTEER CAN MEAN DIFFERENT THINGS. 

The definition of a 'volunteer' working overseas in development or mission can be very unclear; A' volunteer' could be someone who;

   Works for an organization without a salary or payment of any kind and the volunteer finances, recruitment, preparation, travel, insurance, support, accommodation and food all from their own pocket.

      You will be required to make payments in order to enable us to secure your preparation, i.e. Logistic costs, which includes accommodation, airport pick -up and administrative cost.

        On your return to your home country, your placement adviser will arrange a debriefing interview with you attended by the        placement adviser and one other member of the Global Aid Foundation team. This is your chance to give feedback on your    experience of the placement and your evaluation of the program supported by the Global Aid Foundation. We are always anxious to learn how best to support you and the placement provider.
