Housing and Project Conditions
I will post here the current information on Housing conditions to be expected
- We’ll stay in a village and the house is well and safe. The space is peaceful. Don’t need body guard or security.
- We’ll need a generator and fans because they don’t have electricity in their area.
- The pastor will buy water in the town for us, but I would still filter or purify it.
- You’ll find a house with furniture’s: beds, chairs, bathroom and toilet.
