The program we volunteered for was one of the most expensive. Our fee of $3,182 per person paid for accommodations and three meals a day in the organization’s compound; emergency health care and evacuation insurance; lessons in Swahili plus occasional ones in dance, batik, and drum; information on dress, behavior, and health issues; and visits to nearby historic sites. Additional costs for each: airfare, work permits $200, visas $100.
