Global partnership has a rented home with 10 bedrooms, dinning and a kitchen. Volunteers may use this facility on arrival and departure dates and during the orientation program while they are in Kathmandu.

Volunteer will be staying in urban houses or private rented houses sometimes with a host family near to the project. In remote areas, it is very hard to manage special living room so volunteers will be sharing rooms but separate rooms will be provided to ladies and gents. Generally they will be offered Nepali food (three meals a day), which includes rice, lentil soup, vegetables curry, meat (occasionally), pickles and seasonal fruits. Sensation of humor and flexibility is needed for every volunteer during the work camps.
Volunteers can enjoy verities of food if they like to try themselves. If you are interested to enjoy your special items of food in work camp with your participants, please tell your camp leader before living from Kathmandu.
