Application process and requirements
After submitting an application, applicants will be contacted as soon as possible regarding confirmation of dates and projects. Participants should understand that food and medical care are not what they are used to. While the programme has accident insurance, this does NOT cover the direct consequences of war; in other words it does NOT cover MINE accidents or other UXO (unexploded ordinance - e.g. cluster bombs). Nor is it a substitute for medical insurance. A minimum contribution is required for projects, however, volunteers are encouraged to contribute more.
