Price updates

Project cost for bookings made on or after 21st Sept 2011 = £75 per week

Project cost for bookings made on or before 20th Sept 2011 = £100 one-off payment

Background: OV started to work with 2 new charities after the 24th July 2011 which meant the whole old programme was no longer available. Also the main location of the project has changed from Bangkok to Phuket. All volunteers who booked the Thailand project and were added to the Thailand project list before the 20th Sep 2011 can travel with the old price of the £100 one-off fee providing they made a commitment with flight details and sent these to us before 31st December 2011. Any flights details received after the 1st January 2012 will go with the new price of £75 a week.

Original Volunteers do not own or operate the projects but only send volunteers to work with small charitable organisations abroad it is impossible to guarantee that prices on the website will remain the same throughout your year of travel. Especially when booking more than 12 months in advance, these can change at short notice according to the needs of the organisation or local inflation which makes it impossible to cover rising costs of rent and bills. Most projects try to keep the same volunteer contributions for at least a couple of years. If there is a price change we notify the change by email to everyone on the list for that particular project including those who have only expressed an interest.
