How does IFRE help me when I am in the field? How can I maintain communication? Do you visit me?
Once your volunteer program begins, our local staff members stay in constant touch with you. Volunteers staying at the Xi’an homebase see our coordinator and staff daily. We recommend that you ask questions and make comments regarding your experience. Many minor issues can be avoided with a just little extra communication before they develop into major issues. Your project will have local staff members in addition to our in-country coordination staff. If your project is located a great distance from our offices, then our local staff will communicate via email and/or phone.
We are available for you at the local office via email and phone before and during your trip. It is our job to make sure that you are safe, healthy and happy.

Through our volunteer and humanitarian trips abroad, we aim to spread love and compassion worldwide while improving the lives of destitute children and less-fortunate communities. We at IFRE also seek sustainable solutions in the fields of education, healthcare, conservation efforts and development issues through international volunteering.
