Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
The volunteers will share accommodation on mattresses in the local youth house and cook most meals by themselves with the provided ingredients. The well equipped youth house has kitchen facilities and central location so it will be a comfortable homebase for the team. Loviisa is a small town where all services are within a short walking distance. Loviisa is by the sea and at the same time a ridge that offers nature and forest. The volunteer will be able to experience Finnish sauna culture and swimming in the sea.
