Release Form

TO VOLUNTEERS:

We are delighted with the opportunity of sponsoring your activities and helping you with some of the arrangements. We must warn you, however, that volunteers of Health Volunteers Overseas may be subject to considerable risks, including, but not limited to, the risks of international travel and terrorism. As our organization is comprised entirely of volunteers like yourself, it has limited funding and has no insurance to cover these risks. Each volunteer is expected to assume any and all risks that may result from his or her activities and to procure insurance coverage as he or she deems appropriate.

Please sign and date this document and return it to HVO acknowledging this notification, releasing us from liability, and indemnifying us from claims against us arising from your activities. We must receive a signed copy of this letter before we can continue to process your application. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Nancy Kelly
