Sometimes the organisation and slow speed in which things are improved can be very frustrating, but you can try to learn to live with that. And even more you appreciate a washing machine, a television, water and electricity when it does work. Most of the time volunteers are working five days a week, eight hours a day in one of the different branches of the village. The other days you can sleep long or for example go to Jerusalem or Tel Aviv. Sometimes the work is nice and most of the time it is not.
Volunteers are mainly there as cheap workers to do simple jobs.
Cleaning toilets wasn't life-fulfilling, but made me look, both at toilets and at life in a different way. And because of that I was even more motivated to start studying. Opposite the stupid work are the freedom and all the new friends from over the world. You get to know their way of living, their cultures and you also get an idea of the complexity of the problems which are living in the Mid East. My way of looking at politics has definitely changed through my stay.
