Our volunteer really enjoyed this session\nwhich was a group activity. He also enjoyed the energisers and group bonding\ngames during the Orientation period, which he found a lot of fun. Every evening, we organised different events for the\nexchange of ICL (Intercultural Learning) like Henna application and watching a Bollywood\nmovie. FSL-India also organised some cultural activities in the free time like a\ntour to Kundapur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/fsl-india.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Orientation-May-2019-2..jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16572\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In the second part of the session,\nour volunteer was asked to discuss his role and responsibilities towards the different\nstake holders, i.e. FSL-India, his project and Host Family. After the\nvolunteer&#8217;s presentation, the FSL-India facilitator spoke on the guidance that FSL-India\ngives to each volunteer, feedback, enough work, support, food, safety, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/fsl-india.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Orientation-May-2019-3..jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16573\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For the Kundapura visit, our\ncoordinator helped the volunteer to shop for an Indian outfit&nbsp; to attend an Indian-style local marriage the\nnext day. So, he bought a white kurta and a lungi. On the last day of the\nOrientation, he attended the Indian marriage and got an opportunity to see the customs\nof an Indian marriage. He enjoyed a banana leaf lunch with many varieties of\nIndian food. After lunch, he went onto the stage to wish the couple, as is the Indian\ncustom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"http:\/\/fsl-india.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Banana-Leaf-Lunch.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16569\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fsl-india.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Banana-Leaf-Lunch.jpg 800w, https:\/\/fsl-india.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Banana-Leaf-Lunch-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fsl-india.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Banana-Leaf-Lunch-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fsl-india.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Banana-Leaf-Lunch-360x270.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We, at FSL-India consider\nthis orientation to be a success because we received positive feedback from the\nvolunteer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/fsl-india.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Wish-to-Couple.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16576\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Alexander says: We\nhad a lot of sessions in 3 days. On the 2nd day, we went to Kundapura to buy a Dhoti\nfor the Indian marriage the next day. The staff is very open-minded and I could\nask them many questions. I also tasted a lot of different foods. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the month of May 2019, FSL-India, Kundapur hosted 1 Long Term Volunteer from Germany at our CEL (Centre for Experiential Living), Kundapur.
