Information for volunteers!

You are drawn to faraway places and at the same time you would like to promote nature conservation or make a small contribution to improving the local living conditions? Volunteering abroad offers you a variety of opportunities to get involved in projects in the fields of social work, medicine, to engage in education, environmental protection and nature conservation. By working and living together with the local people you will make new friends, learn about everyday life and culture in another country and gain valuable experience. You will also expand your language skills along the way. In order to be able to embark on this adventure with complete peace of mind, reliable insurance cover is particularly important. After all, you can also fall ill abroad and there are many other risks against which you should insure yourself. A few practical examples:

• In the rented apartment your perfume bottle falls into the sink and causes a crack.
• When you walk alone through a remote side street, another person threatens you and demands that you hand over your wallet.
• When skiing in the mountains you are seriously injured and must be rescued by the mountain rescue service.
• Your grandfather died unexpectedly and you want to travel home for the funeral.

We therefore recommend that you take out complete cover, including health insurance, personal liability insurance, accident insurance and assistance insurance.
