Living Situation

Living in provincial locations requires a high tolerance for difficult circumstances, such as unstable electricity, difficult roads, no supermarket, and inadequate medical facilities. There is a flat for volunteers on a safe compound along the river. In previous years, two volunteers shared the flat. Other missionaries live on the compound. The house of the German family is 5 minutes away. So, the volunteer does not live directly in the house of the family, which allows for room for privacy. The applicants will be required to dress according to local cultural norms which means modest dress.
