This volunteer work was certainly very special for me, I was able to live many unique experiences. I would like to thank the whole team, I was very well received and I feel fulfilled in having been part of it. The work is very easy and everyone can help you :)

Here at the organization, people from different backgrounds work hard together towards the same goal---helping those in need. It is such valuable experience to volunteer in the kitchen of the homeless/refugees shelter at the organization. Here you have the opportunity to cook lunch for those in need. The number of people who come to lunch changes every day, usually around 40 to 50 at the moment. When you serve lunch, you can meet different people and communicate with them. So it would be best that you speak some German. You don't have to cook with perfection but do with heart. That's the only advice.

My first experience with worldpackers and I couldn't choose a better place to start. The people who work at the church are welcoming people, I made great friends, I studied German, I had the privilege of my stay being during the carnival and being able to parade with the church community. The work was pleasant and I recommend it to everyone who wants to connect with a community, because it is an environment to meet people and interact with the church's routine and I can say that the experience added a lot to me! Thank you the organization!

By far the best volunteering experience I could find, we went to the organization for two main reasons: Germany + doing something relevant to the community, we couldn't have chosen better! Huge shoutout to father Oliver who accepted us, made us feel welcome and was always willing to help us with what we needed, I definitely would like to come back one day! Last but not least a huge thanks to Kai and Andre who helped me with the language and showed us more about the German culture, you guys rock!

My time in the organization was great! Father Oliver and the other volunteers and staff have always treated us very well. We were given a private room and the volunteer kitchen had everything we needed to cook. Tasks were easy to complete. Duisburg is a good place to serve as a base for exploring other cities and countries in the vicinity. We even had the bonus of spending Christmas there and it was wonderful! I definitely recommend the organization!

The experience was amazing! During the period, I was able to participate in different tasks for the community and, mainly, understand the context in which the project is inserted. As for the activities, as long as you are willing to help, there will be plenty of opportunities. If you have time restrictions, I suggest you align this in advance to contribute in the best way (: Living with other guests was very pleasant!! It's impossible not to have fun with Kai and his various card, board and video games - I recommend you participate whenever possible! Thank you so much ✨

Our experience was amazing! Lucas and I we were very welcome by the team, Bedia and Emine picked us up at the station and prepared everything to make us feel at home (so sweet!). Pater Oliver is an angel (with a really great humor, big heart and disposition) he toured the region with us, showing ancient cathedrals, squares, towns and also nice cafes. Working at the church is simple and easy, interacting with people is transformative ♥ Sometimes we worked more than 10h, but it was never a problem (Christmas can be busy). Hope to see you again soon, the organization family. You're all in my heart!

Overall, it was a good experience. The work in the kitchen was easy and working with Mary was delightful and the people we served we saw frequently. There is lots of down time and you are mostly left alone, but I was lucky enough to have another volunteer to go out and explore with.

I believe I had a pretty different experience than what other reviewers have had. Mostly in the social aspect. Everyone was very kind, but I hardly ever saw any of the hosts but maybe 2-3 times. The work itself was very easy and you have a lot of free time. You also get to see a lot of the same members of the community daily, which was nice. Mary in the kitchen was awesome! All in all, it was okay, just okay. The work they do is good, there just wasn't a big social component.
