Meals
A caterer prepares all meals and discusses the menu with volunteers
upon arrival. Volunteers who have special dietary needs or food allergies should
note their needs on their volunteer application so Village Volunteers
can notify the ADF staff in advance.
Drinking Water
Purified drinking water is provided for volunteers.
Electricity
There is electricity, however, there are frequent power cuts. Rechargeable lamps are provided for volunteers.
Internet Access
Volunteers can typically access the internet from the school in Atorkor, about a 5 minute walk from where volunteers stay.
Volunteers can have unlimited internet access at the school for a small fee.
When the internet at the school is down, the nearest internet
access is in Keta, about 27 km from where volunteers stay. It
costs about $2 USD to travel to and from Keta by public transport.

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.
