Transportation might include aircraft operating in and out of rough, hazardous airfields or hours in vehicles traveling over bad trails. Working hours are usually long, and there might not be a day off.
Accommodations are, at times, rough and primitive.
Meals are sometimes provided by community clubs, church groups or restaurants. In foreign countries, the food will be basic and is often the fare of villagers. All of our supplies and medications are donated and, as a volunteer, you are asked to secure whatever you can. These items are sometimes shipped to the destination, but more often are carried as part of the volunteers' personal luggage. When available, private donated aircraft is used to transport volunteers and supplies to remote areas.
