THE BASE

Our base is a multi level pitch building with several multiple rooms and bathrooms. Volunteers will sleep in coed bunk rooms inside the building. Room sizes differ throughout the building, so some rooms may have a couple sets of bunk beds, while others will have three or four. In the past, volunteers have used tents, but we are asking all volunteers to sleep in our provided accommodations for safety reasons. As with many of our international programs, showers will be done via the bucket shower method (fill up a bucket with water and use a small pitcher to wash off all the sweat and dirt from site!). Laundry service is available through one of our cooks for a small fee. Any volunteer or staff member have to put their items in a small bag with their name and the amount before going to site in the morning and the cook will wash them during the day. Though, everyone has to wash their own socks and under wears, as a matter of cultural respect.

There are no machine washing services on base, but you can also hand wash clothes. AHAH will wash work shirts for volunteers and staff, and will provide fresh shirts for everyone each day as needed.
