It is up to the volunteer to make their own choice.                                                Option 1:  accommodation in hotels-different hotel options will be sent to the volunteer before they arrive then they will choose a hotel of their choice and directly pay the hotel when they arrive.

Option 2:  Accommodation at the homes of local CCP ambassadors near the schools/national park or forest reserves. The homes might be somewhat rural but secure for the volunteer to stay.

The volunteer will out of his willingness make a small contribution towards food expenses to the conservation ambassador. This is voluntary.
