    Accommodation

    Accommodation depends on property availability. It may be a private or shared room with a single bed. Once we know your confirmed dates during the interview, we will plan and assign the most suitable option.


    We share three meals a day, all of which will be together if possible, but if this is not possible, we will leave all the ingredients needed so that volunteers can prepare them on their own.
