**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.
Health: Team members should be in good health. Anyone with chronic medical conditions should notify us and seek medical approval before traveling to Honduras. Most clinics will be conducted in a hot dusty climate.
Vaccinations: Volunteers MUST be certain the following vaccines are up to date: Typhoid, Hepatitus A and B, Tetanus. Malaria pills are also required. Whoever is administering your shots can tell you if you need any other medications.
