How IFRE helps me when I am in the field? How can I maintain communication? Do you visit me?
Once the volunteer program start, our local staff stays in touch with volunteers. We visit our volunteers every 2 weeks (if possible) and you are always welcome at the office. We recommend that the volunteers stop by the office once a week if they are in the local area just to let us know how they are doing with their home stay and project. Many minor issues can be overcome through a little communication long before they become major issues and ensure that your trip is exactly what you had hoped for. Your project will have local staff as well, though not our own. If your project is very far, then our local staff maintains communication by Email and phone. We are available to you at the office, by email, and by phone for your entire trip. It is our job to make sure that you are safe and healthy.
The mission of IFRE Volunteers is to offer the most affordable as well as the highest quality volunteer and humanitarian abroad experiences - enabling us to make a contribution for all of humanity in its quest to make the world a better place. 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.
