Volunteers will be accommodated in groups of 2-4 in rented and 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.
