GENERAL QUESTIONS

If you want to join a mission as a volunteer we kindly ask you to cover the following costs yourself:

  • Ticket to and from Madagascar
  • Vaccination and malaria pills
  • Alcoholic beverages

Exept for the previously mentioned items, there are no personal expenses excluding costs such as souvenirs. All the other costs for dental equipment, dental materials, accommodation, food and transfers will be paid by the Modern Dental Care Foundation. Because these expenses will be made for a foundation with the ANBI (NL) and European NGO status, it is possible that you will get a part of these costs back through the taxes. We will be happy to inform you about this personally.
