Our group also use some percentage of the funds to contribute materials and other resources to the overseas project. The communities you are going to serve are already in need of infrastructure and support. Therefore community members and our partners are unable to pay foreign volunteers to come and assist, or able to provide financial support for visiting volunteers whilst they help to improve the quality of their lives.
