Major FAQ-Uganda
Where do I stay during the one-week language program? Where do I stay during the volunteering period? What do I eat? What about shower and restrooms? Do you accommodate special diets?
If enrolled in the first week's Language and Culture Program volunteers are accommodated in a local host family. Usually, volunteers are hosted by IFRE's local coordinator who manages three (3) local meals a day. At the close of the Language and Culture Program, IFRE's local coordinators transport participants to their respective projects where they will be introduced to their local project staff and respective host family.
The vast majority of our Uganda-based volunteers live with local host families for the duration of their projects. However, volunteers participating in the orphanage project stay in the orphanage (where a separate room is allocated). Here, participants are provided private room as well as three meals a day. The bathroom and kitchen facilities are shared with the host family and other volunteers. The Ugandan diet is primarily vegetarian, consisting of bread, vegetables, lentil soup, curry, and pickles. Except for vegetarians, we do not accommodate any special diets. |
