Tsunami Humanitarian Project

When we initiated our Tsunami Relief Program, Global Crossroad agreed to waive program fees for the first 100 volunteers. Immediately, we were inundated with applicants who wanted to help relieve the suffering in Sri Lanka. As a result, we agreed to waive fees for the first 147—those whose applications were received during the first 4 days of our program. Unfortunately, Global Crossroad has exhausted its resources and can no longer waive the program fee. Volunteers joining our Tsunami relief/reconstruction Project should pay the following fees:

Total Program Fee

Two-week program : $1199

Allocation of program fee

Project Donation: $400

Reconstruction projects require a tremendous amount of materials: cements, rods, sand, and other supplies. Unfortunately, local sources in Sri Lanka are unable to fund their own reconstruction. Therefore, nearly all money donated goes directly for the purchase of construction materials. A portion of this donation will also be used for engineers/consultants fees.

Global Crossroad fee/lodging/meals/airport pickup/logistical support: $699. This fee covers our administrative costs (advertising, support for U.S. and Sri Lanka staff, and related expenses). This fee also covers the cost of airport pickup, transfer to the project site, travel insurance, lodging (rented house/local hotel/host family), meals (local food 3 times a day), transportation, and other logistical support during your stay on the field.

Special Notice

I. The program fee does not cover soft drinks, mineral water, and personal expenses.

II. Global Crossroad offers meals and lodging from the first to the last day of the program. It is each volunteer’s responsibility to pay for lodging and meals if arriving earlier than the project start date or staying after the completion of the project. It generally cost $20-$25 per day in a medium standard hotel near the Colombo airport.
