The answer to this depends entirely on where you’re situated while in-country. Some practitioners will be based in the city, some other in the more rural areas where the housing will vary. We ensure everyone is in safe accommodation but the finer details will not be known until you know where you are situated.
GLP Alumni: “The house I stayed in was clean and secure, but had no utilities as we know them. Water was brought to us in recycled cooking oil Gerry can. There was a squat toilet out the back of the building – we did not have to share this facility. There was no electricity in or near our house. Our neighbours were other teacher mentors and other teachers – all females. We had a bamboo fence around the buildings to give us some privacy. Cooking was using a Calor gas canister with one ring to cook on fitted on top.”
GLP Alumni: “It’s a basic and simple life and definitely doesn’t have the luxuries that we are all accustomed too but we can live in it. Our house had 2 houses very close by and we had animals, goats and chickens, outside our door every day. I didn’t ever have to worry about sleeping in as they generally woke me up every morning.”
