Being in good health is a requirement as placements are often in warmer climes than many volunteers are used to and international travel can be hard on system. Pollution in some cities is an issue so please take this into account. Having good mental health is also important to be prepared for changes in culture. On conservation projects you will need to be fit as there is typically some physical work involved. On certain projects, we may need a note from your doctor to confirm that you are fit to travel and volunteer. To help clarify this information, you will be asked to fill in a medical form after registering. In the past, we have worked with disabled volunteers, identifying locatiosn that can accomodate for their particular needs,, so if you have any concerns about whether you can be eligible to participate, please inquire with one of our advisors and we will be happy to guide you.
