The program
fee
covers the following:
Housing
and Food -
During their stay, Come
Kuona volunteers are housed with host
families in the community they will be
based. They will be provided with their own
room which will have a bed with pillow and
wardrobe with dresser. They will be provided
with 3 meals each day. The food is local
and nutritious. Vegetarians are also catered
for. By living with host families volunteers
are immersed into the local culture which
help them develop meaningful relationships,
forge new insights and cross cultural
learning.
Airport pick-up and drop-off -
We provide transport
from the airport to the program site and
back to the airport upon completion of your
project. A Come Kuona
member of staff will be at the airport to pick you up
upon your arrival and will
return you to the airport on the
completion of your volunteer experience.
In-Country
transportation-
We do not cover
daily transportation from living
accommodations to volunteers' projects.
However all our programs in Kenya are within
walking distance to the project sites.
Orientation and Supervision -
There is a
3 day orientation that takes place a day or
two after you arrive. During the orientation
we provide you with information on the culture,
language and way of life of the local people. We will also cover topics such as
health and safety, local transportation and communication.
Once you officially begin your volunteer
duties, Our skilled and knowledgeable
volunteer coordinator will always be available to offer
support,
insight and assistance, throughout your
entire stay. Our volunteer coordinator will
be with you every step of the way.
Emergency support- Our
staff and volunteer coordinators are
available 24 hours a day to handle any
emergencies. All volunteers are provided
access to a phone which they can use to
contact the volunteer coordinator or our
offices. The host family and program staff will also offer
support incase of emergencies.
Detailed Pre-departure Information-
We will provide you with in-depth
pre-departure information pack. This will cover
things like what to pack in terms of
clothing, medicine, shoes, medicine, visas and much
more.
*The program fee does not cover airfare and
Visa. The Visa fee is $ 50 USD
In addition to airfare, you will only need
to provide for your extra expenses in Kenya
or Uganda,
i.e. internet, telephone calls, sightseeing,
local transport, eating out etc. Volunteers
are also responsible for the cost of their
immunizations, passport, and visa, though we
will guide you through the preparation
process. We highly recommend that volunteers
get a travel medical insurance policy. If
you get the ISIC Card, which is mandatory in
order to get some of the great student rate
air tickets, then such insurance may be
included. The cost of the card is roughly
$25.00 USD.
The rest of your budget will vary greatly
depending upon your lifestyle. Some
volunteers go through a few hundred
dollars a month. Others live and play off
pennies |
