The Office of Community Service used to list IICD as an opportunity to work abroad, but Casella was alerted to investigate the group by a former IICD volunteer. Casella removed IICD from the community service office's Web page. Butler is not giving up her commitment to volunteerism after this experience. She is applying to the Peace Corps, but she said that this experience has made her very suspicious of all small humanitarian groups. I wouldn't trust this organization with my safety.
Many safe opportunities do exist, however, to travel with a small organization.
She said VFP helps students find opportunities abroad and assists in securing proper documentation. Casella said she felt the allegations against the IICD by several former volunteers were enough evidence to withdraw her support.
