How do I communicate with my family? IFRE staff? Is there internet access?
Volunteers are advised to bring their mobile phone. Upon arrival in Nepal, SIM-cards can be swapped and the phones used locally.. This is the perfect way to stay in touch with family and the IFRE office in Kathmandu. Internet Café's are available in most areas of Kathmandu, Chitwan and Pokhara with computer stations rented by the hour for a very modest fee.
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.
