Destiny Garden School Volunteers

Charges to Volunteers **      

We do not charge placement fees.  We work very hard to keep costs down especially for you, the volunteer.

The first week of placement is US$ 540 then  US$ 200 per successive week.   Of the first week's funds, US$ 340 will go towards administration costs and school feeding program.

This is applicable to students, gap year programs and long-term volunteers. You will work with a professional aid and development organization. You will be part of my team the moment you arrive in the airport.

You will be supported and guided every step you take by professional development workers. If you have any problems, we will be there to assist and advise you.  While volunteers are enjoying the service we provide for them we remain devoted to maintaining both the quality of the program and the safety of all volunteers involved.

Your Placement will normally be between 1 to 24 weeks or more depending on your requirement. This allows participants an in-depth experience of development work. You may, of course, volunteer for a longer period if necessary.

Shorter placements: Due to family and work commitments, some participants can only volunteer for a very short time. The two-week program caters especially for these volunteers.
