Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
Volunteers will be accommodated in groups of 2-4 in rented and appropriately furnished flats. They will have a private or shared bedroom and a shared kitchen, a bathroom and a toilet. Food allowance will be given to the volunteers monthly. The volunteers will cook by themselves. Narva is not a big city, therefore the volunteers will walk to the placement. If a volunteer decide to use public transport for going to the HO, they will get monthly transportation money. In case there are any project activities being held outside the city the volunteers will get their expenses covered by VitaTiim.
