Volunteers are encouraged to determine if their existing insurance covers medical expenses in Syria. If it does not cover Syria, then we encourage that they purchase a supplemental policy. This physical environment at Tuneinir is demanding and individuals with serious medical or emotional problems are usually unable to cope. The sun is hot, bright, and dust storms are not unusual. There is no private space or time and everyone is expected to maintain a positive attitude and sense of humor.
Flexibility is essential.
This year, we will consider accepting some volunteers for less than one month if space is available. College Credit may be earned for participation on this excavation though it is best done by a letter of evluation from Dr. Fuller to your home institution.
