Communication
- How do I communicate with home?
- There are a number of ways:
- Blogging. This is a great way for people to stay in touch with you. Everyone on the team contributes regularly to the Campus Target blog.
- Secure email. You will use encrypted email during your time overseas, ensuring that your messages and email updates home are not read before they cross the ocean.
- Skype or other VoIP solution. Skype offers cheap and secure calling, allowing you to call people back home for cheap or free, depending on their setup.
- Snail mail. Sure it can take weeks, but there’s just nothing like a letter from mom or a care package at Christmas time!
- How often will I be able to email or call home?
- As often as you like. Most of our team members talk with their friends and family back home on a regular basis. This is a vital connection, both for you and for the people back home who care about you.
- How do I communicate within the country?
- Communication in Asia looks a lot like it does in America: cell phones. Everyone on the team will get a cell phone, and you will use it all the time to set up meetings and hang out times with your friends.
