⚠️ Requirements
Rural village without a public transit system: volunteers should love nature and walking.
Bring clothes, gloves and rubber boots (because sometimes you will be working in the middle of dense vegetation), a raincoat, hiking shoes and a swimsuit. The nights can be cool; so take warm clothes and a good sleeping bag. You can also take recipes from your country, musical instruments and games.
Foreigners belonging to the European Union must bring with them a personal EHIC (European Health Insurance Card), and everybody must, in any case, bring their insurance certificate. If health issues happen on the project, volunteers will have to pay for it, and then be reimbursed once back in their home country.
