How Your Participant Fees are Utilized

 

Your participant fees are Oasis' main source of funding.  These fees support our in-country program coordinators to implement our program.  As a staff we ensure that you and your fellow participants are well informed and prepared for your Oasis For Haiti’s Children program work.  Your participant fees also cover your food, lodging, and transportation during the program, and also offset the cost of pre-trip planning.  Participant fees and international airfare can be claimed as a tax deduction for US taxpayers to the full extent of the law. (Consult your tax advisor for full details.)
