Accommodation

Volunteers are hosted on the comfortable second floor of the Ryvanz-Mia Orphanage. (The orphans are not allowed on this floor.) There are 5 double-occupancy bedrooms with locks on all doors and mosquito nets on all beds. 

At the end of the hall is a shared bathroom, which is only used by volunteers. Water pressure can be an issue, so volunteers should be prepared to bathe from a bucket in the shower when necessary. And if you are nice then the children might even heat up some water for you!

Meals
All meals are prepared on-site by Mama Esi and Faustie, and there are three scheduled meal times. For volunteers who are teaching at the Delta Preparatory School, a bagged lunch can be prepared and taken in the morning.
Vegetarians are easily accommodated by our host families, with rice, fruit, and a wide variety of beans available. The more popular local fruits include plantains, pineapples, and oranges

Drinking Water
Purified drinking water is provided for volunteers.

Electricity
There is electricity; however, there are frequent power cuts.

Internet Access
The nearest internet café is approximately a 15-minute walk from the orphanage called EDNO CAFÉ opposite Cedes GUEST House. Prices of their services are moderate.

Laundry
For $30 USD per month, a volunteer’s laundry (clothing and bed linens) can be done once a week. All volunteers are asked to launder their own undergarments.
