The number of people per room depends on how the volunteers themselves organise the group. In some places, volunteers can use dry toilets and showers without water inside.

Volunteers who have sleeping bags can bring them with them if possible. Access to drinking water on site. During the work camp, the volunteers will cook their own meals.
