PROGRAM “ADOPTING A STUDENT”
The city of Xalapa, Veracruz as the venue for the XXXII International Meeting on the Study of Marine Mammals has many options for lodging. However, we know students are not always able to afford their travel expenses including lodging. This program is aimed to minimize the costs for all students who come to this Meeting, providing lodging in volunteer, coordinator, students and/or family houses, etc.
