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:)

We only stayed for two weeks but it truly felt like a whole lifetime of new experiences and lifelong friendships.The hosts humberto and ophélie are truly amazing and welcome you with open arms, happily show you around and give you answers to all the questions you might have about their amazing the organization community(I had a lot of them;)They are always up for a good laugh which also makes it so easy to communicate about daily tasks and what help works best for both parties.We didn't speak portuguese in caneças, but as long as you arrive with an open heart and a smile on your face you'll be fine <3

Ophélie was an amazing host. I felt very safe and comfortable with her while learning a lot as well.

This was an amazing experience! It was a great place to stay if you want to be immersed in the local lifestyle. The Emmaus project has a unique way to help support local people in need. Ophelie and Humberto were great hosts and made us feel very welcome and were very sweet! It was an overall amazing time!

Our time at the organization has been impactful in our hearts. Ophielle and Humberto were so welcoming and supportive throughout our entire experience. Both Lisbon and Caneças were great experiences and we learned so much about the organization! Like others have said knowing some Portuguese would definitely be helpful at the Caneças location, but we got by without it because of the friendly atmosphere! Thank you again for this experience this is something we will take with us in our future endeavors! :)

I had a wonderful experience at the organization, which was worth the time and commitment I put into it. I cannot express enough how much this experience meant to me and I am truly grateful for the opportunity. Ohpelie and Humberto were very welcoming and made me feel like a friend rather than just a volunteer. My time at Canecas was hard work, but it gave me the chance to show my fellow companions that I stand with them as they go through this transitional period in their lives. For future volunteers, keep an open mind and grow through this volunteering experience. You won't regret it.

Had a great time!! I enjoyed my time in Lisbon more than Caneças due to the hours and living space. Caneças is good for connecting with nature and a small community, and Lisbon is great for exploring the city and connecting with locals! The other volunteers at Emmaus are super fun to be around :-)

I spent 18 happy days at the organization, where everyday I woke up and felt included, cared for, and listened to by an incredible and kind-hearted team. It was a really unique experience to get to live with the community there and to take part in their traditions and schedules. It's worth mentioning the working hours and location. It takes over and hour to get to the city center and work is from 08:30-18:30, so if your priority is to explore Lisbon rather than mostly staying at the project site I would recommend the organization' Pop op store in Lisbon. Both is also an option. I'm looking forward to coming back.
