Accommodation

Volunteers are going to stay with the host family which is located inside the village and it takes about 5 minutes walk from the DCC center. There are several toilets and bathrooms in the house. The accommodation is equipped with simple sleeping mattress, blankets, pillows and mosquito nets. It is not very perfect but this is what the villagers use, and find it very comfortable for their daily life.

Food

3 meals per day will be covered by the participation fee. Food will be cooked by hosting family but volunteers will help your daily cleaning and washing. Meals will be the basic Cambodian dishes. Food during free day will be excluded so we would like to ask you to bear your own expenses for that.

Volunteers will have a weekend off to explore some tourist spots around project site or places in Battambong province. We will not arrange any tour for you therefore, you will need to manage it by yourself or with other volunteers of where you would like to spend the weekend. There are some interesting options for the you to explore.The project coordinator can introduce you to some attractions but still the decision is yours and He/she also can help to arrange the transportation for you as well if you needed.
