General Expenses

PLEASE NOTE: THIS PROGRAM HAS BEEN TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED

1. All volunteers pay for their personal expenses including food, drinking water etc. and prepare their own meals.  Bring a bank card that is accessible in Mexico or Travelers Checks (and a passport). It is difficult to give an exact needed monetary amount as it is so personal. Depending on ones diet, food and water etc. can cost anywhere from $20 – 35 USD a week. The better ones diet, the more expensive it can be.

2. Tashirat is a primarily English speaking experience; however, Tashirat staff members and children are all fully bilingual.  Spanish lessons can be arranged with a private tutor for $15 USD an hour.

3. We charge a $10 USD a month rental fee for the use of our juicer and blender in order to help us repair and replace them when needed.

4. We offer access to our extensive English library to all guests with a $50 USD deposit. Your deposit will be returned to you when all borrowed books are returned.
