While in Kathmandu, you will be staying for the first few days at a hotel in Bhaktapur or Kathmandu. All the rooms will have “western- style” toilets and hot-water showers. Some have fans, TVs and mountain views. A telephone is available, and there is a good restaurant where you will receive your breakfast and lunch depending on availability. During training you will either have a single room or you may share a room with a same sex volunteer. When you move to Ideal Home you will either a single or shared room, with hot water shower and western style toilets. Your meals will be Nepali style Dal-Bhat, with Ideal Home family.
