FAQ's
(Frequently
Asked Questions)
1.
Will I receive a salary?
We
are not in the position to pay for volunteers, and therefore hope that
volunteers work out of their own interest and concern for others..
2.
How about room and board?
Ciao
Kids is a one-year-old Organisation and consequently not well off. Ciao
Kids provides for room & board in exchange for work, however, this
can be costly for them. Occasionally volunteers may have to contribute
towards these costs. In India, this contribution can be minimal such as
US$ 1-3 per day. Taking into consideration your length of stay,
short-term volunteers are expected to contribute more, and less if you
are staying for a long-term period.
All in all, volunteering does require an investment and a sacrifice of
time and money on behalf of the volunteer. However, in return, you will
receive a practical experience in the field and an education, which is
invaluable for career and personal development.
