About This Event

Reach New Limits

  • Team building games
  • Educational activities
  • Sports tournaments

Volunteers will also have the opportunity to:

  • Visit local Islamic Relief projects in the area and interact with beneficiaries to hear their stories.

  • Visit Srebrenica and go to the Srebrenica Memorial.

Support People in Bosnia

The 1992-1995 war transformed Bosnia-Herzegovina from a medium-income country within the former Federal Republic of Yugoslavia to now one of the poorest in Europe. Despite the success of post-conflict rebuilding, the economy has not yet returned to its pre-war level. Since 1993, IR has been supporting orphans through one-to-one sponsorships, education projects, as well as school supplies and food distribution programs.

This program aims to provide support to children in Sarajevo through a summer camp that is affiliated with the ongoing orphans’ program.

Inspire held 3 cohorts in 2019, running 3 summer camps with Orphans. Here are a few volunteer reflections

Benefits of the Trip

The Inspire program aims to give volunteers a unique and eye-opening experience, where they can immerse themselves in a completely different context than they are normally accustomed to. This program encompasses the “give and take” principle; it is an opportunity to both give back to vulnerable communities overseas whilst learning and growing skills in an enriching environment. After completing the program, letters of reference will be given out to participants upon request. Participants will also be encouraged to continue volunteering with IRUSA following the trip to continue their humanitarian efforts. 

Accommodations/Costs

IRUSA will cover your stay in Bosnia, including your accommodation, transportation, food, and scheduled sightseeing activities. Please note that flights are NOT included in this, thus the volunteer is responsible for purchasing their flights to and from Bosnia, as well as mandatory health insurance. 

Pre-Departure Training

Once accepted into the program, all the volunteers are required to attend pre-departure training sessions that are held for 2-3 hours Bi-weekly. These sessions will focus on the details required for the Field Study, including fundraising, country profile, IR history, security in the field, activity planning, etc. These are mandatory!

“If you’re twenty-two, physically fit, hungry to learn and be better, I urge you to travel – as far and as widely as possible. Sleep on floors if you have to. Find out how other people live and eat and cook. Learn from them – wherever you go.”
