Volunteers will provide compassion and care in this residential community for mentally challenged or schizophrenic children, youth, and adults. This home for mentally challenged and schizophrenics provides the material and emotional resources that these special people need to lead a full normal life such as work, recreation, culture, friendship, and family. Some of these projects train volunteers in caring for these special people.

The work will be residential therapy for this special community and an outpatient program for autistic children. Also provided are therapy and counseling for schizophrenics, occupational therapy, psychophysical exercises, and outpatient counseling. Some tasks for volunteers will include center maintenance and gardening, preparing and serving meals, cleaning and providing companionship to the inhabitants of the house, and helping with their education. (You will be guided by the project.)
