How much does participating in a MEDLIFE project cost?

Participants pay for personal airfare plus a participation donation:

One Participant for 2 weeks: $850*
One Participant for 1 week: $650*
A registration portion of $100 is not refundable unless the project is cancelled.

*The actual cost of the mission is around $1250 per person, but thanks to some very committed volunteers who work with MEDLIFE we are able to charge $850/$650 for a participation fee. Thanks to these volunteers we are able to offer some scholarship to students.

What does this donation cover?

This donations covers room and board in Ecuador and transportation in Ecuador. There are no other (or very limited) costs associated with the trip except for buying souvenirs, exit fee from the airport and other spending money (ie. to use the internet, calling home, a couple of meals (typically around $5) etc).
