Volunteers should arrive with mosquito nets, micro pur for disinfecting water, sheets and blankets ( or a sleeping bag ) sprays against mosquitoes, K – Ways and walking shoes. Mosquito nets treated to repel mosquitoes are available in Lomé at very attractive prices.
🤝 Meeting point
We do ensure that there is a welcome at the International Airport, Général Gnasssimgbé Eyadéma at Lomé. Every volunteer registered on one of our work camps mist inform us well in advance of the start of the work camp the details relative to his arrival ( the date, the time of arrival and the flight number ). On arrival he will find one of the agents of FAGAD responsible for welcoming.
Attention; we advise volunteers to never give the money representing their participation in expenses at the airport, even of the person has a FAGAD notice. The volunteer can invite the person responsible for welcoming to communicate his family name and his first name. In the case where the flight is late or has been annulled, the volunteer is asked to inform us to enable us to make alternative welcoming arrangements. In the case of a late arrival at the airport of the person responsible for welcoming, they can call us from the airport.
ℹ️ Additional information
Participation fee: Expenses linked to participation, welcome and transport towards the work camps amount to 330 Euros per volunteer and per work camp. These expenses cover restaurant expenses and lodging on the work camp. It also allows us to ensure a person at the airport to welcome volunteers as well as provide transport of the volunteer up to the work camp site.
