Does each volunteer pay for air fare?
Rostro de Cristo pays for a round trip ticket leaving from and returning to the USA. It is the responsibility of the volunteer to arrive for the orientation. Each volunteer is requested to fundraise at least $2,500 to help pay for various expenses including airfare to and from Guayaquil, Ecuador, orientation, health care, etc. Prior volunteers have raised exactly, less than, and more than what is requested. Fundraising options have including but are not limited to: writing letters to family and friends asking for their support, speaking in church/parish communities about Rostro de Cristo and, reaching out to local Rotary groups or other organizations to help support Rostro de Cristo and the volunteer’s year of service.
