First the water is turned on for 1 minute to wet your body. Then you soap up and apply shampoo to your hair. We had to bring our own towels and wash cloth as well as soap and shampoo. There are also 2 washing machines and 2 clothes dryers. Each person can wash one load of clothes once a week, only once a week by each person.
Food is wonderful.
The cooks are very skilled and the choices are gourmet. Quantity is no problem. There are 195 people at pole, which is the maximum number that they have beds for. All the dishes for these people have to washed after the 3 meals. Volunteers are asked to help.
