Costs and Guidelines

To streamline the process of Tanzanian visitors, OMEGA takes care of many details. OMEGA identifies appropriate hosts in Africa, works with them to coordinate projects, and organizes your activities to maximize your enjoyment and effectiveness, takes resources, and requires an experienced and professional staff. The process of preparing, training, transporting, housing, feeding, and supervising volunteers is best handled by a staff that is experienced in the African culture. OMEGA also provides additional services such as re-entry assistance and travel medical insurance.

To help offset he costs of recruiting volunteers, producing literature, answering the phones, sending mailings, developing a website, and interviewing potential volunteers. OMEGA is an independent non-profit organization that relies entirely on private donations.
