What is the living condition in my placement? Do the people speak English?
You will be placed in the village, urban, or sub-urban areas for your volunteer work. The living condition of your placement depends on the area. One should not expect luxurious accommodations. You will be placed with a host family or hostel setting with a separate room for yourself. But in some occasions, you will have to share your room too but it is rather rare. Most placements have electricity and if electricity is an asset it can be arranged. Our host families are mostly educated, well respected in society, and experienced with international students. Some members of host families may speak English. Mostly in orphanage placements volunteers stay with kids.
