What will a typical day look like?

Participants will wake up and have breakfast at the Saint Elias Monastery at about 8:00 A.M. They will then be transported to their various volunteer opportunities. At 1:00 P.M they will return to Saint Elias for lunch. From 2:30 to 6:00 they will participate in the scheduled arabic classes at the Berlitz Language Institute. In the evenings there will often be a guest lecture or cultural event. On the weekends we will travel to different cities throughout Syria, such as Sweida, Homs, Palmyra, Aleppo, etc.
