My job itself is neither strenuous nor stressful and includes common household chores such as setting/clearing the table, loading/unloading the dishwasher, washing dishes, vacuuming, taking out the garbage, etc. My personal highlight of the volunteering is the fact that we get an incredibly delicious and warm meal every day! Every Wednesday, the young people have English lessons, which I also attend.
