Yes, a fan if you're growing indoors, or if your orchids are being grown outside, the natural breezes are probably mostly sufficient.

Which orchid? Unfortunately this advice is far to vague to have been of any practical use to you. She should have given you a culture sheet that told you what the orchid needed. In your conditions, in your part of the world, with a particular orchid potted in a particular mix, once a week watering may be perfect or it may rot the roots off depending on the circumstances.
If you know what kind of orchid it is look in our orchid care & cultivaton section or at
AOS | Home for information on how to gorw it. If you don't know what kind of orchid you have, try to post a pic and we'llsee if we can ID it for you. If ti doesn't have a tag, usually we can at least tell you what family it is in so you'll know how to take care for it.
Oh and ask lots of questions!
