<a name="11b709031f2a7bcf_b"></a><b>c) Note about accommodation in Belem during
the WSF 2009</b><br>
<br>
The Facilitation Group in Belem is taking a series of initiatives to attend the
several requests that are already coming concerning participants accommodation
during the World Social Forum 2009. <br>
<br>
A form to request solidarity accommodation – family and alternative – will be
available in mid-August, in the website <u><a href="http://www.fsm2009amazonia.org.br/" target="_blank"><span style="line-height: 115%; color: rgb(102, 51, 0);">www.fsm2009amazonia.org.br</span></a></u>.
<br>
<br>
The alternative accommodation consists on schools, gymnasiums, religious and
other organizations that will offer their spaces to WSF participants. The other
modality of solidarity accommodation consists in local family's houses. <br>
<br>
The solidarity accommodation costs can vary from zero to R$25,00 (about 15 US
dollars). More details about accommodation options and how to request
solidarity accommodation will be sent soon. <br>
<br>
Concerning the standard accommodation, the Facilitation Group would like to
inform that due to the reduced number of beds, Belem hotels are charging
abusive prices – around 4 or 5 times more than the usual. <br>
<br>
The Facilitation Group also would like to inform that there's no official
travel agency for the WSF. Standard accommodation should be discussed directly
by the participants organizations and the hotels in Belem, or using the travel
agencies that the organizations are used to work with. <br>
