* Volunteers should bring medicine especially for diarrhea, flu and fever and personal use.
* Volunteers may need to bring toilet paper since in Myanmar toilets, people use not paper, but water! But volunteers are also welcome to try a local way that can be more comfortable if they are getting used to it.

Food
The host provided three meals a day and all the meal are rice, salad, fried fish and some local food. Tap water is not drinkable and purified water will be provided to the volunteers. The vegetables are fresh from nature and many appetizers but some local food may oily and salty. There will be meat only at the local market which happens once in every five days. We also prepare coffee and some local fruit sometimes. Volunteers have to cook for the groups in rotation with local freshly vegetables and stuffs. The grocery will be provided by the co-leader. The meal will only sometimes have meat like chicken and fish but mostly with local fresh variety of vegetables since to follow the local way. Volunteers can also bring recipe cook from their country. Sometimes the local villagers may provide their local snacks and food. You can also bring your food or things from your country to cook for food exchanged. In some project there are over 1000 people in the area but the monastery has their own volunteers and cooking team so volunteers do not need to cook for all.

The major language spoken in the workcamp is English among volunteers though the communities use only Myanmar language.
