What if I’m a vegetarian/have dietary restrictions?
It is important to realize that many of the communities we work in have never accommodated dietary restrictions. For them, eating each day is challenge enough. It is possible that an alternative meal is not available. Additionally, refusing food may offend people who do not understand such restrictions. While we do not restrict people from traveling with special dietary needs, they should understand that cultural sensitivity is a vital part of all projects. At the very least, you should not expect any special accommodations for such restrictions in the prepared food.
