What are your expectations of me as a participant?

We expect all participants to adapt to and respect the local customs and cultural environment to the best of their ability, to be modest and respectful in their behavior, to have reasonable expectations about the amount of volunteer work and arabic study they will be able to accomplish in a short amount of time, to refrain from intoxication and drug use, and to follow the guidelines set out for participants during the orientation session. Remember that, as a guest in another country, you are here as a cultural learner. You are here to learn, not to teach and, as a volunteer, to serve, not to lead.
