Meals
Meals at Connections House are $6.00/meal per person. Note that Sunday breakfasts are always continental, as well as any breakfasts served before 7:00am. Sunday lunches are not provided. So, please plan to eat out for lunch on Sunday if you are here during that time. When serving at a ministry site all day, lunches provided are picnic-style (sandwiches, chips, cookies, fruit, and drinks). If you would like to eat out, your team will be responsible to pay for your own food.
Eating Out
Please check with Connections staff for recommendations. Some places aren't able to accommodate larger groups, and we suggest eating at well-known places as to avoid any food issues. Please see our pricing list (link above) for more detailed budgeting, but you will need to plan $8-10/meal per person if you eat out at taco stands. Anywhere from $12-30+/meal for restaurants.

Translators
If you would like Connections to hire translators for you, please be sure to communicate this to the missionaries/mission organization that you are working with. We recommend a minimum of 2 FLUENT translators, especially for children's ministry, keeping in mind that you will need one translator per station if you will be having separate stations. (Construction ministry usually only requires one translator.) Your main translator should also be EXPERIENCED in translation. All translators after that may have less experience, but your primary translator needs to be able to clearly communicate and translate teachings and the gospel message.
Translators: Please be sure to have enough FLUENT, EXPERIENCED translators for ministry. If you would like Connections House to hire translators for you, the cost is $30/day or $20/half day (per translator).
