Sol: 1:14pm Mar 29, 2004: ¿Qué tipo de tareas? ¿Con qué motivo? -

ad honorem, honorary, unpaid

Explanation:
I think you can choose any of the above, depending on your context.
You can say "ad-honorem services", "honorary services", or "unpaid services".
I would use "unpaid" or "ad honorem". I've heard of "honorary" mostly in an academic context (as in "honorary appointment at the university").
