⚠️ Requirements

The project will start in Istanbul with a compulsory orientation meeting that all volunteers should attend on the first day of the camp, in GHD Office at 18.00. The group will travel together to the camp site by a coach on the same evening. Therefore all volunteers should be present at the orientation meeting, otherwise you will miss the group departure and will have to make your own way to the camp site which is rather difficult. The journey to the camp site takes 12 hours and one way costs 25 Euro. The departure from the camp site is on the last day of the camp after breakfast.
