🏠 Accommodation on site
The volunteer will stay with the host family. It’s getting difficult to find host families in Taiwan, and most host families are not exchangees’ families. This means that many families are open-minded enough to have you as one of their family members not as a guest. So, please try to be a part of the family. Take part in the activities of your host family and spend some time with them. If they don’t have so much time to be with you, you can also arrange your entertainment by yourself (just for reminding, there’s no perfect host family). The host families need to take responsibility for you because you are a part of their family members, so that they will worry about your life in Taiwan. Some rules to protect you, such as curfews (back home before 10pm.....), or mention in advance before your activity.
📍 About the location
