Beware of AfriVol

 

Imitation the sincerest form of flattery?

08 October 2010

Ikando would like to inform volunteers and interns that unfortunately our placements and content have been illegally copied by an organisation called AfriVol. Ikando does not have, or has ever had any dealings with this organisation. We are doing everything possible to rectify this situation as soon as possible.

Their placements are not theirs and they do not have agreements with these organisations to recruit volunteers. Beware! It is organisations like this that bring the sector into disrepute. Luckily there are many organisations out there who are genuine and can help you find a worthwhile placement.

Below is an example of placements being advertised by AfriVol. As you can see these are Ikando placements and the text has been copied word by word from Ikando.
