I'm honestly not sure what I substantively have to offer, but I can do most office and some accounting tasks, and I have reasonably physical strength for a female of my age. I'm also reasonably certain that I can learn almost anything, if I'm trained. The only thing I don't really want to do is to teach (since I've pretty much had my fill of that for one lifetime).
When I was younger, I did a fair amount of charity work, but as I moved into my advanced degree work, I sadly let that part of my life slip. So if anyone can share any positive experiences with charity work, I'd love to hear them. Thanks in advance!
