**SAFETY**
C.A.R.E. is aware of security concerns volunteers have when working in foreign countries. We have armed security personnel with our group 24 hours a day, every day and everywhere we travel. As needed, we also have uniformed police accompany us. We take every precaution to ensure our volunteers are safe.
Cost: The average cost of a trip is $1,000 (excluding airfare). This includes on ground transportation to rural villages, interpreters, air conditioned hotel, accommodations and food. While your expenses are covered, you may want to bring an additional $100-$200 for personal expenses. You will need $38 for airport exit tax. Airline fares change constantly, in the past tickets have run from $550 and up.
Teams: Teams should be no fewer than 10 people and no more than 25 people. Bilingual team members are very beneficial. Applicants should be at least 18 years of age; if under 18, with adult permission, you may participate on a trip under Central American Relief Effort supervision.
