Au pairs always enjoy opportunities to take part in service projects. We normally do one or two projects each year as a cluster. This year we are stepping up our game. We are looking for ways to volunteer in a variety of different types of charities (benefitting the homeless, children, animals, the environment, etc.)\u00a0We will post updates as our projects continue. So, check back to see what we can do when we work together.<\/p>\n

We have done one project so far:<\/p>\n

April 10 – Making Sandwiches for the Homeless (5 hours of service)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Screen<\/p>\n

How are we counting the 30 hours?<\/p>\n

We are counting the time our group works on the project together (making sandwiches 1 1\/2\u00a0hours), time preparing for event and purchasing supplies (2 hours) and time delivering them to DC Central Kitchen (1 1\/2 hours.)<\/p>\n
