 Teen Mission
The teen mission programme is a cultural awareness programme for High school students between the ages of 16-19yrs.It seeks to create awareness of challenging developmental issues and opportunities as they offer voluntary services to foster homes and orphanages. As part of this, they also travel to historical places and places with rich cultures. The programmes last for a month with in every vacation break. These student who volunteer under this programme are hosted by local host family like the other programme offered by RLS.
 FOSTER A CHILD BY DISTANCE
This programme of I-SF opens a way for all who seek to foster a child without living with the child to do so. This is done in distance, thus the foster parent can be in a foreign country whiles the child lives in the local country. The main idea is to help brilliant but needy students to come out the den of poverty. There are some children in this world who strive very hard to realize one square meal a day. And these children do whatever they can to survive thereby contributing to the increase in social vices. These children need to go to school so I-SF paves the way for volunteers in a foreign country to foster some of these children by distance.
