The choice is yours. There is a shared pit latrine and shared bathrooms constructed outside the houses. Volunteers are free to come with camping tents to be used in case of community camps/trips when necessary. There is a wide, green compound (Except dry seasons) with a number of fruits like oranges, mangoes, pawpaws, jack fruit, avocados among others. 

    Volunteers are encouraged to carry their bed-sheets, Bed covers/blanket, pillow, bathing Towel and other personal items. Volunteers are requested to share a rooms with another volunteer or if they come in groups or family etc.

    The school is located about, 10 minutes by motorbike from the accommodation (residence) place.
