What is Voluntour?
A voluntour provides an exciting opportunity for anyone to use their education and life experiences to bring decent, environmentally friendly housing solutions to children affected by civil war, natural disaster or poverty. During a voluntour participants will be joined together into teams assigned with local workers to build houses, clinics, schools and other structures that will provide one of a child’s most basic needs; shelter.
A voluntour is more than the physical experience that we are to expect when building a home; it is also an emotional experience that will allow you to personally interact bringing much needed support, hope and love to these children. Building a home for an orphan is a once in a lifetime experience that will not only change your own perceptions about your own being but it will also expose you to the serious crisis that plague children throughout every nation.
A voluntour is an opportunity where you can bring your enthusiasm, motivation and desire to help children in need under the care and support of our trained team leaders, who will provide the additional support needed to guarantee that you have a meaningful and productive building experience.
Your voluntour could make the difference in not just one life but many lives.

Accommodations
The homes to cost approximately $20,000.00 each, and will be nearly 580 square feet, housing up to 18 children plus staff. Our goal is to lend a "hand" to an entire generation of orphans at Father Marc's village, now totaling 800+ children; and it begins with you as a fundraiser for REACH.
Accommodations are within the safe and secure "Quad." There, you room with one other individual, have co-ed western style bathrooms, and 3 western-style meals per day. All water is bottled and safe. Your next step in the process will be to submit our application with all interested in making the trip along with receiving the updates for vaccinations necessary, which is within the application as well.
Your group can be a maximum of 14 members, and all involved must be 18 years of age by the departure date, or have an adult traveling with you. Or, as an individual you can join any open volutour week.
