Information concerning eventual problems should be exchanged early enough so appropriate measures are applied in time. More problems occur with big and financially well-off partners who can be involved more for their image than for anything else. In most organisations the volunteers aren t paid. For Contact J, the largest expense is campleader s training. For many Eastern European partners one extra challenge consists in clarifying the mysteries floating around voluntary work which still puzzles too many volunteers, local partners as well as the nerve of the war namely, the sponsors.
Western partners try to contact sponsors very early.
Concordia for example, insures good harvests by the help of regional bodies specialised in fund-raising. Trough its special unemployment themed projects, bringing a breathe of fresh air to economically depressed areas, UNA IYS Wales, keeps good relations with grateful locals and their institutions. In the past, FIYE s camps were co-ordinated by local partners whom lacked time and interest towards the volunteers. IJGD and Concordia among others, retrebute their leaders and make them sign contracts. To the general consensus, an effort should be made to ease the exchange of leaders to the example of the exchange of volunteers.
