Volunteers are welcome to bring new ideas about constructions and accommodation solutions. The venture runs in solar panels, therefore, electricity is limited and on rainy days with strong consumption of electricity, we can run out of electric power. There is no possibility of using hair dryers and washing of clothes can only be done the traditional way. There is a separate kitchen building and we opt for vegetarian food.
