What are living conditions like on a trip?
Conditions are very basic when we travel. Volunteers may camp, be put up in homes in the host community, sleep in a local school or community center, or stay in a very basic hotel if there is one in the community. This is project dependent. Food is generally cooked by local families and is whatever the community commonly eats. We are often many hours away from medical attention, stores, etc. There are inherent risks and discomforts involved in traveling on our trips, and many people choose not to travel because of this. Please consider these factors carefully when deciding if you want to travel with us or not—and remember you can still get involved if you don’t travel.
