🏠 Accommodation on site
Volunteers live in EFM's house, in a small village called Długopole Górne. It takes around 15 minutes by bus to get to EFM's office in Bystrzyca Klodzka and 20 minutes walk to the train station. Accommodation is in double rooms with shared bathrooms and a large equipped kitchen. There are washing facilities and free wireless internet throughout the house, and outside there is a garden and a small football and basketball court. EFM will cover any transport connected to the project. Plus, volunteers receive a food allowance (400zl) and pocket money (4€ per day) at the beginning of each month.
