Gegevens over jouw aankomst
Volunteers are free to arrive at any day of their choice but we advice volunteers arrive on Fridays or Saturdays, for them to have some rest and settle in before volunteer duties start on Monday (Volunteers are also allowed to determine when they want to start upon arrival). Volunteers can arrive at any time of the day but arriving in the evenings means volunteer will have to spend long time at the airport due to long queue because most flights arrive in the evening. Therefore volunteers can look for flights that arrives mid morning or early afternoon.
Our representative will pick up volunteer to the his /her host family's accommodation.
This program is all year round and volunteer can extend length of stay upon arrival.
