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.
