the family and work place. Each volunteer will live with a local family as a family member of the household. The family will
be given orientation on how to deal with and accommodate the guest, provide food, tea and boiled water. The meal consists
of local traditional food such as dal-bhat (lentil and rice), noodles, omelet and various combinations. You will be eating
what the family eats. The host family will live quite near to your work place.
