During the working days, the volunteers have lunch at the school with the children. Furthermore a percentage
of the monthly budget is dedicated to the food expenses. The project assumes the 100% of food expenses.
Accommodation:
Volunteers share a flat in the city of Alicante. The shared apartment will provide the equipment necessary for
coexistence of volunteers. Volunteers are responsible for keeping the house clean and are also responsible to
take care of the equipment inside the house. In case of damage because of wilful negligence they may be asked
to pay the repairing costs.
The flat is located in the centre of Alicante town, 10 min walking distance from the bus stop to the school,
10min to the old town and nearby the beach. It has three bedrooms with wardrobe in each one, one kitchen,
