THE BASICS

Location: Barrio Nuevo Toltepec, Oaxaca, Mexico.

Cost: Free! We provide 3 meals a day on each working day and accommodation for the duration of your stay. Volunteers are responsible for all other expenses, including travel.

Work Days: Full day from Mondays to Fridays, and half-day on Saturdays. Sundays are days off.

Arrival Days: We welcome new arrivals only on Wednesdays before 6:00 p.m

Accommodation: We’ll provide basic co-ed accommodation in indoor rooms and/or outdoor sleeping in tents as space allows (first come, first served on tent space). If you wish to sleep in a tent, you need to bring your own waterproof, sturdy tent (space for tents is not guaranteed, and large/oversized tents will not be allowed).

Meals: Choice of eggs, local bread or oats for breakfast, traditional Mexican lunch and dinner included 6 days a week. Vegetarian diets are the only dietary restrictions that can be accommodated.

WiFi/Cell Access: The Barrio Nuevo Toltepec area has unstable cell service; our team recommends TELCEL or AT&T.

AHAH does not provide WiFi service for volunteers. However, Wifi is available for purchase at a shop just a few minutes -walk- from our base for a very reasonable price.

AHAH can make program laptops available on a limited-time basis for quick email communications at home or provide program phones for emergency WhatsApp calls at home.

Access: We recommend you fly into Huatulco Airport (HUX), located 46,7 km from the base (73 min drive), or to Puerto Escondido Airport (PXM), 90 km (110 min drive).
