It is a common courtesy to bring a small gift for the family that will be hosting you. You are not required to do so, but if you choose to bring something, it can be quite simple. We suggest a box of chocolates, a t-shirt with a hometown logo, or pictures of your family and some local post cards.
If you want to bring gifts for your project (and if you are working for an orphanage or a school) please bring pencils, pens and paper, art supplies (i.e. markers and construction paper pads) and games. Remember that every child will need these items so you may wish to bring a large amount of one thing.
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.
