Dormitory for Volunteers

This dormitory was built with support from both the (UNDP) project and government of Khoun district (land, wood...). It's a simple two-room shelter equipped with simple furniture. It was deemed necessary to have such facility built for volunteers working for Khoun Community Radio for Development who have to travel to the station from their remote village to work. Before this dormitory was built, volunteers had to sleep on the floor in the station when they could not travel home at night or when it rained. The dorm is located just few meters from the station. It also provides a resting place for volunteers. Now, two of male volunteers are occupying one of two rooms. The other room is kept vacant for female volunteers. Those who are staying in this dorm also help to safeguard the station.
