🍲 Food
The Sponsor will provide free meal in the company’s canteen 3 times a day. The kins of food provided in the canteen are mainly local food. Most of the toilets in Indonesia are squat toilets, so you have to learn how to use squat toilet. The sponsor will provide you with full support and accomodation. At some activities, you’re free to cook your own traditional foods, just make sure you bring your own special recipe which might not be found in Indonesia. If you are vegetarian you should inform the camp leaders previously, so we can arrange it. However, vegetarians should not expect several different dishes besides vegetables and eggs, as it is not so common to eat vegetables and fruits only in the village.
