You should refer to websites for specific information regarding places to stay. The hospital offers housing on site for some volunteers. Each request is considered individually and decisions are made depending on availability of rooms, planned length of stay, volunteer service that is being offered, etc. As a general rule, we ask volunteers to make a contribution for their housing to help cover the costs of electricity, housekeeping services, etc. The cost for a room with fan only is $12 per night and the cost for a room with A/C is $18 per night. Some volunteers solicit donations from family and/or friends to help cover the cost of expenses incurred during volunteering.
