Wear loose and comfortable clothing, preferably cotton, short-

sleeved t-shirt, long & durable pants. Wearing shorts on site is

not allowed. Abrasions, cuts and scratches are the most common
injuries at the build.
Wear sturdy shoes with closed toes. Sandals, flip-flops, open-
toed shoes are not the proper footwear due to the danger of
dropping heavy things on the feet.
Wear a cap, bandana or hat for protection against the sun.
Sun block spray or lotion is also advised for those with sensitive
skin.
In case of rain, bring a poncho or raincoat. (Remember that
construction work continues even if its raining.)
Use a good pair of working gloves to save your hands from blisters.

Safety is an attitude of care and concern for the staff and
volunteers. The way to be safe is to think and act safely. We ask all
volunteers to take part and observe safe work practices
throughout the build day. Orientation on construction is held at
the start of the build. We require all volunteers to attend this
important part of the program.
