What type of lodging is provided?
In the host community, volunteers are lodged in a comfortable guest-house type hotel in double occupancy rooms. All the rooms have a private bath, telephone and cable TV. Single rooms are sometimes limited and thus are available, for an extra cost, on a first-come basis.
What are the laundry arrangements?
The hotel can do your laundry for a modest cost.
What is the electrical power?
The electric current is 220V. You should bring a converter (to 220V) and an adapter (the large round double-pronged version used throughout Europe) for your electrical appliances, unless they are dual voltage.
What is the local cuisine?
Meals are hearty, but not always very varied. Breakfast typically includes coffee, eggs, ham, bread, dry cereal, yogurt, and on occasion, some fruit. Lunch and dinner consists mostly of soups, pork, beef, chicken, or fish and potatoes. All your meals will be share with the team in area restaurants or at the hotel.
Can special diets be accommodated?
Avoiding meat is not a major problem, but if you require a particularly strict diet, we recommend that you bring food items with you to supplement your meals.
Will potable drinking water be provided?
Bottled water is provided for team members.
