(University of the West Indies). 

All accommodation and food will be provided for all participants in 
a tented camp at Loboi (participants should bring 2 sheets), and

will be reimbursed their travel expenses (at public bus transport 
rates) and given a small per diem allowance to cover costs of sodas 
etc.
