What is the experience requirement? What are safety issues?

U.S. State Department does not condone travel to Sudan. Nor does the U.K. equivalent of our state department. How do you respond to this?

Dear Joseph - its not a question of 'condone' which I think means that it's an offence to travel to Sudan. It's not an offence. Sudan is safe, friendly and the people are not hostile to Westerners - quite the contrary. Most families have relatives living in the West and when they can they travel to see them. All are eager to learn or practise their English.
It’s been about 6 years since I was there. But FCO travel advice remains that most of Sudan is safe to travel to.
I believe they require graduates or university students requiring a year abroad as part of their course. But I suggest you check with SVP directly via their website.
