Your work would be based out of your own home, with intermittent face-to-face meetings with us and regular communication via email and phone. Hours, days and times are completely negotiable. The karma points you will earn and the inner pleasure you will get from helping us out will be immeasurable! Please contact Carol Mathew-Rogers if you are interested in volunteering.
