Dominica Project

Volunteers on this project will experience perhaps one of the most unique accommodations for a Maranatha project in the last few years! The group will stay at a UNESCO World Heritage Center called Fort Shirley. The old fort has been converted into a lodge that has several well-kept up dorms, bathrooms, and a kitchen and dining room.

The group will be divided into two dorm rooms, one for males and one for females. There are stairs down to the shared bathrooms from the respective dorms. The bathrooms have hot water and individual stalls for showers. Mattresses are provided, but volunteers will need to bring their own bedding (pillow, sheets, and blanket) as well as towels and washcloths. The rooms do not have air conditioning, so you may also consider bringing a battery- operated fan to help keep your bunk cooler. WiFi is not available at the fort.

Couples and families are welcome on this project. There are a few more- private rooms in the upstairs of the fort. We will put two couples together in a room or one family. If we end up with a large group of volunteers, some couples might have to divide into the dorm rooms.

The fort is located on a bluff overlooking the ocean and about 30 minutes from the construction site. The group will meet together at the hotel for meals and worships. Each day, the group will travel by small bus to the construction.
