Volunteers stay with local host families near Prambanan, sharing rooms and beds with 2–3 same-gender participants. Facilities are basic with shared bathrooms and no hot water. Meals are home-cooked Indonesian food, typically rice with vegetables and sometimes meat, and volunteers help with light meal support and shared cleaning duties.

🍲 Food

To ensure a fully immersive experience, volunteers will stay with local host families near the Prambanan area. You can expect to share a room and possibly a bed with 2–3 other volunteers of the same gender. Living conditions are simple and authentic, with shared bathrooms that typically do not have hot water. This setup allows you to experience the local lifestyle firsthand. Your host family will provide home-cooked Indonesian meals, which usually consist of rice served with a variety of vegetable dishes and occasionally meat or fish. You will have the chance to taste local specialties from the Yogyakarta region, such as gudeg (a sweet jackfruit stew). Volunteers are expected to participate in daily life by helping with light meal preparation and shared cleaning duties, fostering a sense of community within the household.
