Housing
Volunteers are hosted in the home of one of the association
members, which is approximately 1 mile from the association's
farm. There are two rooms designated for volunteers. One room
is double-occupancy; the other is single-occupancy. All beds
have mosquito nets, and the rooms have locks on the doors.
There is a bathroom in the home with a toilet and a large bathtub.
There is no water pressure so volunteers should be prepared
to bucket bathe in the bathtub.
Meals
All meals are prepared for volunteers at the home. Volunteers who have special dietary needs or food allergies should
note their needs on their volunteer application so Village Volunteers
can notify the association in advance.
Drinking Water
Purified drinking water is provided for volunteers.
Electricity
There is no electricity, so volunteers are provided with kerosene
lanterns at night. Volunteers are also recommended to bring
flashlights.
Internet Access
The nearest internet cafe is in Somanya, a 30-minute tro-tro ride away.
Laundry
For $30 USD per month, a volunteer’s laundry (clothing and bed linens) can be done once a week. All volunteers are asked to launder their own undergarments.
