Program Highlights
- We believe that volunteering shouldn’t cost the earth. Registration fee is only $ 149 and program fees start at only $400 for two weeks
- We are the only international volunteering organization to be based in a developing country that also runs its own projects. Most providers are profit-making travel companies based in First World nations.
- We are non-profit – fees received cover our costs and help us to achieve our mission by contributing to local programs. You pay the program fee directly to the local organization (in Brazil, this is Iko Poran)
- You take part in programs developed and operated by local partner organizations and their respective community councils
- We focus on providing a good experience for you - welcome, orientation, accommodation, placement and ongoing support.
Response from Iko Poran Volunteer Abroad - IKPVA
Dear Gerbert,
Thank you very much for your review. We at Iko Poran are very glad to know you had an awesome time with us in Rio. It is great to know your volunteer program was productive and you feel that you really caused a positive impact.
I just want to address the breakfast and the accommodation issues because you are right: breakfst was not very good and we impoved it with juice, fruits and cereal; there are more bread, ham and cheese for the ones who want to eat more, and we did not raise the price for the accommodation. Besides that, because of your review we changed all the mattresses that were not in good condition.
We really appreciated having you here with us and look forward to seeing you again in the future.
Best wishes,
Iko Poran
