What type of lodging is provided?
The accommodations are in a village home, with few amenities. Volunteers sleep on a simple cot, so you should bring a sleeping bag, or sheets and blankets. There is a functioning bathroom in the house.
What are the laundry arrangements?
Clothing is hand-washed and dried on outdoor clotheslines.
What is the electrical power?
The currency and outlets are the same as in the U.S. There can be shortages of electricity in rural Jamaica.
What is the local cuisine?
The diet in Jamaica consists mostly of chicken, rice, bread, fresh fruits and vegetables, but you will be served other foods as well, including fish, beef and pork. A local cook prepares our meals, which are eaten together as a team.
Can special diets be accommodated?
Strict vegetarians (such as vegans) cannot be accommodated. If you have special dietary needs, you should bring your food with you.
Will potable drinking water be provided?
The team leader will have a water purifier for the team's use. Please bring a water bottle.
