Some more details

I got some more details about the trip. The more I read about it the more excited I get, which is good for me. I have to remember to bring a lock now.


Living - What type of living are we going to be place? Will it be four to a room? We only have one boy in our group, will he be house with other boys from different teams or in a room by himself? The dormitories sleep 20-40 or so people each. The one boy will be in a boy’s dorm room with other male Habitat volunteers.

Door locks - Will we have keys to the room to lock any personal items? Lockers are available in the dorm rooms. Volunteers can bring their own locks or rent a lock for the week for a $3 deposit. The dorm rooms do not lock. We recommend only bringing any valuables absolutely necessary on your trip.

Type of work - what type of work we will be doing? I don’t have next week’s schedule yet, but you will get your site information and assignment on Tuesday morning.

City Life - How far is the city life from Camp Victor? is it walking distance? What is the shopping plaza or street name of the shopping plaza? Camp Victor is located in downtown Ocean Springs, which is kind of an old-fashioned downtown area. It has shops and restaurants. Major shopping would probably require a vehicle.
Breakfast/lunch/ Dinner - I have a submit an itinerary to my director. Do you have the times for breakfast, lunch, and dinner? Will lunch and dinner be provide on Monday 3/8 (check in day)? Breakfast is daily at 7AM, lunches are packed in the morning and taken to site with you, and dinner is served at 6PM. On Monday, only dinner will be provided.
