need advice

// December 22nd, 2004 // Chumu Volunteership

ok, anyone reading this, please take the time to give me your advice.

ok, for this volunteer thing, i had to pay about $70 per week to cover my food and board… so a total of $210 was paid for what i figured was three weeks. Now, i only got to do one week… do you think i should ask for my money back ($140) or just let them keep it… that $140 is enough for at least a week of traveling.. though the people definately don’t have much.

what i had planned to do before they didn’t show up to pick me up was to stay 10 more days then leave and let them keep the rest of my money… as it would only end up being about 4 days… but they never showed up… i was in the right place at the right time, for sure… they just weren’t there. so i’m just curious as to what your opinions are as to what i should do? ask for it all back (140) or half or what?

thanks!

    I’d say it sounds like a scam to me and you should get your $$ back….at least half of it anyway.
