It is the responsibility of the intern to ensure their room is kept tidy during their time on the program. During the hot summer months, please note that only light bedding is provided in the form of a bottom and light top sheet. Towels are not provided so volunteers do need to bring their own towels.
Interns are also responsible for cleaning their accommodation, also the dishware, glassware, cutlery and cooking utensils that they use.
Interns are responsible for organizing their own meals since the accommodation is in walking distance they can find grocery stores, supermarkets, bakeries, restaurants, cafeterias and mini markets.
