What Volunteers Do
|
|
|
Usually, volunteer duties and a rough programme are worked out beforehand on a mutual understanding and a working schedule is delineated in the first few days of the volunteer’s arrival. Tasks are carried out with the assistance of a staff counterpart, and short meetings are held on a regular basis to evaluate progress.
When possible, volunteers are encouraged to bring a laptop computer, as office computer resources seem to be always in use! Volunteers are to dedicate a minimum of 3 weeks for their stay, free of charge at the MEDASSET office in Athens. Working hours are 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday to Friday. The MEDASSET office is located in the centre of Athens and has a guestroom with a single bed, a kitchen and a bathroom with all amenities. Sheets, towels and laundry services are provided by MEDASSET. At the outcome of their stay, volunteers are requested to submit a short report of their experience. If required, a recommendation letter may be provided.
