FAQs – For Whilst Overseas.
What is the support like overseas?
We believe our staff support overseas to be unparalleled. We have full-time paid and trained English-speaking staff in each destination. It is their job to set up your placements, check out your accommodation, meet you at the airport and provide you with any support you need should any problems occur. They won't try to nanny you - but they will always be there, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
During your placement you will also have a supervisor at your place of work. If you have difficulty teaching in class, if you really want to gain extra experience in a certain area of medicine - or whatever the problem or request may be - someone will be on hand to give you help and advice.
Are the countries safe?
Before we go, countries must be politically stable and safe. If they are not, we don't go or take you. We are in constant contact with State Department regarding stability and safety and, of course, we have the added security of overseas staff.
Will I be met at the airport?
You will be met at the airport (or local coach station or railway station). There is no additional charge.
What if I am ill?
If you are ill while overseas, our staff will know where the best medical care can be found. You receive information on this during your induction when you first arrive, and of course you can reach our staff by phone 24 hours a day if you fall ill. In the unlikely event that you are seriously ill, all volunteers are covered by a comprehensive insurance policy, which, if needed, includes flying you home and all your medical costs until you get home. JHM Global staff will be on hand to liaise with your family, the insurance company, and the relevant medical people.
Can I extend my stay while overseas?
Yes. Depending on visa requirements and flight restrictions. This gives added flexibility. If you want to extend your placement, just talk to our overseas staff.
Will there be an opportunity to travel when I'm there?
You will have weekends free. Volunteers often take this opportunity to go on trips to local places of interest.
Many interns travel extensively after the end of their placements, often forming small groups with other interns to visit other places of interest, find mountains, beaches, jungles and great cities to visit.
Will I be on my own or are there going to be other interns in the same area as me? You will be located close to other interns so that, if you want to, you can meet, exchange ideas and stories, socialise and go on trips with others. Interns usually make good friends with each other and often decide to go traveling together after their placements. You will never be isolated. You may even be placed in the same accommodation or workplace as one or two other interns. Although we cannot guarantee to meet all requests, please let us know if you have a preference regarding this.
Where do I stay? Who do I stay with?
Most volunteers stay in hostels, local hotels or with local families. This provides you with an insight into the local culture and helps with learning the local language. It also acts as an additional support network.
You must not expect western standards but the accommodation is good by local standards. You will not be in mud huts or shanty-towns (unless you specifically request this kind of experience). You will be placed in the same accommodation or workplace as one or two other interns as rooms are based on sharing. Although we cannot guarantee to meet all requests, please let us know if you have a preference regarding this.
What's the best way to keep in touch with home while I'm away?
All of our placements have access to Internet cafes, though if you are placed in a rural area you may have to wait until you go into town to use them. Generally, you should only use your host family's phone in emergencies, except to receive calls, so generally the Internet is the best way to contact people at home. There are also public phones or communications centres near almost all our placements - these are perfect for local calls to other volunteers, general questions to our local staff or the occasional more expensive call home.
Do women encounter any special problems while traveling?
Rarely. In Asia, Africa or South Asia but interns have to be aware of the cultural expectations. In general, you may get additional attention but this is hardly more serious than at home. The guide is simply to be sensible, dress sensibly, not overly revealing your breasts or bottom cheeks. Outrageous, overly sexy style of dressing may be deemed provocative in some cultures.
