Travel

It is your responsibility to carry all necessary documents when traveling abroad. DORF is not responsible for any supporting documents necessary for your travel needs or other purposes.

Insurance

DORF does not provide you with insurance of any kind. Travel insurance is mandatory, and you must purchase this prior to departing on your trip. You are solely responsible for securing the minimal coverages as set forth in the Volunteer manual, and by evaluating and determining the type, extent and levels of any additional insurance coverage you need or desire for your planned volunteer travel period. However, any travel insurance you select must cover your entire travel period and must include health and emergency medical evacuation coverage.

Refund Policy

All fees paid to DORF as a part of the Uganda volunteer program are deemed to be charitable contributions, and DORF is, therefore, unable to provide a refund of any fees. Registration fees and program fees are not transferable to other persons.

Personal Risks

Personal risks are numerous and include such things as disease, sickness, sexual assault, physical assault, threats, property crimes, and death. To understand the risks you are assuming as a volunteer in Uganda, you agree to read the following two attached publications: (1) “Statistical Report of Crimes against Volunteers” published by the Peace Corps and (2) “Health Information for Travelers to Uganda” published by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Furthermore, you acknowledge and accept the responsibilities and risks associated with your agreement to travel to, temporarily live in, and provide volunteer services in Uganda. Once again, this travel and volunteer work can be hazardous and involves a certain degree of risk, and includes inherently dangerous activities and personal perils to you, both foreseen and unforeseen, all of which are fully accepted by and solely assumed by you, the volunteer.

The above two reports and documents can be viewed at:

  1. Health Information for Travelers to Uganda https://www.cdc.gov/travel/destinations/traveler/none/Uganda
