Experience community through action and purpose

Our stay has been divided one week in Caneças and the other one in the store Pop Up, so we had kinda a 360° view of how the association works, and it has been sooo good and interesting. Ophélie, Humberto and Eva, the people that coordinate everything, are really admirable for the dedication that they put on this project, more that that they are kind and comprehensive, you'll feel immediately at home there. I really suggest in general this experience because I couldn't find negative sides, you'll be helping for a good cause, be able to learn Portuguese if you want, and having the time to visit

Emmaus was my first volunteering experience and it taught me a lot about staying with international volunteers, helping adults and elderly people, generally communicate and get connections with people that have different routines. In my opinion, it's a precious occasion to start with worldpackers and have an immersion with locals!

I definitely learned, enjoyed, and grew up through this experience, by interacting with people from different backgrounds and cultures. They have two different bases in Lisboa, Portugal, the one is community in Caneças where volunteers and local people live together and the other is a pop-up store in the middle of Lisbon. Each has their own features that make you excited and motivated! Besides the volunteering environments they provide, people in the organization Caneças were also incomparably nice. You'll see what I mean as soon as you meet them in person!

Great experience with Emaùs! From the beginning, it was easy to communicate, to settle, to arrive. On my request, I stayed 99% at Caneças, due to my willing to learn portuguese and get in touch more with local people (! be more aware than me that days are longer due to the philosophy to be on the same rythme than the community there) but I was still on a frequent and friendly contact with Ophélie and their nice trainee, Eva . Tasks were clear, diverse. Perfect last day where I joined the team at pop-up store for a celebration there. Thank you Ophélie, Eva, Pereira and companions.

We had an amazing experience, the time in Canecas served to valorated the work of the mates, and the objective of the store in Lisbon. we felted very recived in both stores, Offelia is an amazaing person, she makes to fell very comfortable and like a home. Also the time with the mates was very interesting, learning some Portuguese history and culture.

I truly loved my time at the organization, it was a very unique experience and I definitely enjoyed it most when there were other volunteers staying there for me to work with. Humberto and Ophélie are so kind, I always felt taken care of and so so welcomed

I had an amazing time at the organization. Both the hosts Ophielle and Humberto were so fun and welcoming, as well as the other volunteers I met while there! While I was only there for 2 weeks, I felt very immersed in the local community. I loved the atmosphere and would definitely recommend this volunteer experience!!

I can only hundert Procent recommend this place Not only the social impact you are involved in but also the lovely people around you during the time that made my stay unforgettable. My friend and me we started with one week in Lisbon and ended our Programm with some days in Canecas. The combination of both places made up a perfect mix of connecting with Lisbon it self but at the same time with the companions that lived in canecas. The hosts Humberto and Ophelie made you really feel welcome from the beginning on and they also thought us a lot about the organization itSelf what was really interesting:)
