All our volunteers attend a seelction course, a training course and on return after 12 months overseas, a debriefing course. We are a small charity and send roughly 200 volunteers to around 25 different countries every year, this means we get to know each of our volunteers individually. Over the last 36 years we have sent around 4, 000 volunteers overseas, with this experience we have built up a strong backup support network in both the UK and through out hte world.
