How do I communicate with my family? IFRE staffs? Is there internet?
Volunteers are requested to bring their mobile phone. Once you arrive in Tanzania , you can purchase and change sim-card - purchased in the airport upon arrival as there are 2-3 electronic shops in Dar International Airport . The sim-card is placed in any internationally capable cell phone and gives you service in Tanzania . Please make sure you bring the right telephone. This is the perfect way to stay in touch with your family and IFRE office in Dar es Salaam . Internet Café's are available in most areas of Dar and Arusha. But please be reminded that in Tanzania our projects are 30-50 KM from these cities. So there is no easy access to internet in the rural zones.
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.
