The weather's been gorgeous, so I asked Michal if I might be able to do some gardening, as the many roses and other ornamental plants on the base are quite neglected. So today and tomorrow I'm weeding, fertilizing and raking. Looks like they're pretty flexible about work assignments, which is good to know.
Wow! The time has flown. With the realization that about half of the volunteers will leave the base for good tomorrow, we start trading contact information and waxing sentimental. The standard commitment to work on a base is for three weeks, but many people can spare only two weeks. Looking back over my two weeks, although everything was done at a very relaxed pace, I realize that my group and I did a significant amount to support the IDF by getting the various jobs done and relieving trained soldiers and reserves to do what they were trained for.
