Immunizations
Volunteers are responsible to ensure that they are in good physical health to participate on these trips...the work is tough (carrying sheet metal on your head through a ghanian jungle is surprisingly hot) but exceptionally rewarding.
In addition to being in good physical shape, immunizations are required for some international trips and tetanus shots are STRONGLY suggested for all service travel participants.
