Family Project Bolivia

During the project, volunteers will stay at the Adventist university in the suburbs of Cochabamba.  The dorm rooms where the group will stay are clean and comfortable with 3-4 individual beds plus a private bathroom with hot water.  Some rooms may share a bathroom down the hall. Usually one of the beds includes an elevated bed (bunk bed style).  We will room families together as much as possible with the dorm rooms we have available to us. Single volunteers will be put with other single volunteers on the project. Expect double to quadruple occupancy rooms. If you want to room with someone in particular, please notify Maranatha at the time of your application.

All bedding (including pillows and towels) are provided, although washcloths are not commonly provided in Bolivia. The group will clean their own rooms, but volunteers can turn in their sheets once during the project to be laundered, and can turn in their towels twice. Cochabamba is located at 8,000 feet, so it can be slightly chilly at night. If you know you get cold at night, you might consider bringing another light blanket. 

The group will meet together in the cafeteria for meals and worships. The university has a clean and safe environment, spacious play areas. and lots of friendly students.

In La Paz and Lake Titicaca, the group will stay in double occupancy hotel rooms.
