You will receive an emergency contact sheet prior to your departure for Italy that includes phone numbers for the hotel, our hosts, and Global Volunteers' business and after hours phones. Be sure to leave a copy with anyone who will need to reach you.
Can I make international phone calls?
There will be phones and faxes locally available for you to use for international communication. However, using locally purchased phone cards is usually cheaper than calling directly through the hotel.
Is internet service available?
The internet cafes in Monopoli, Francavilla and Cisternino are not within easy walking distance of the hotel or work project. If internet access is important to you, plan to take a taxi to one of the cafes after work hours. Our hotels are sometimes able to provide computers with internet access for occasional volunteer use, but you should not depend on this being available during your stay
