Describe your day to day activities as a volunteer.
George: Day to day activity for the medical folks was working in medical clinics assisting with Obstetrical patients and giving immunizations in well child clinics. We took the bus or taxi's to our clinics each day.
Others worked with kindergarten children and worked from 0900-1300 each day. They helped them learn English and played many games with them.
