This post is to report that as of today’s date April 27, 2013 our client Hannah Olson owes Cosmic Volunteers an outstanding balance of $385 for her trip to Nepal in October 2012.
Ms. Olson has refused to pay the balance despite the fact that Cosmic Volunteers provided everything promised to her — a volunteer placement, accommodations, meals, airport pickup, pre-trip advice, and 24 hour support.
We are posting this information as a warning to other volunteer organizations who may come into contact with her. We have full documentation of everything, including Ms. Olson’s agreeing in writing January 2013 to a monthly payment plan to pay off the balance.
