Housing
Volunteers are housed in the staff quarters of the clinic with
which they are volunteering. Each clinic can host
up to 5 volunteers.
Volunteers sleep in double- or triple-occupancy rooms in apartments
with a bathroom and shower. Should there be a lack of water
pressure in the pipes, volunteers should be prepared to bucket
bathe in the shower. Each bed has a mosquito net that reaches
the floor.
Meals
Meals are prepared on the premises where volunteers live and work. Volunteers who have special dietary needs or food allergies should
note their needs on their volunteer application so Village Volunteers
can notify the RUCNET staff in advance.
Drinking Water
Purified drinking water (either boiled or sachet water) is
provided for volunteers.
Electricity
There is electricity, however, there are frequent power cuts.
Volunteers are recommended to bring candles, matches, and flashlights.
Internet Access
There are no internet cafes in the village where the clinics
are located. Depending on the clinic one is volunteering with,
one may need to travel between 30 and 50 miles to access internet
in a city.
Laundry
Volunteers have the option of laundering their own clothing or paying a fee to have it done for them. All volunteers are asked to launder their own undergarments.
