Being at the organization was a truly wonderful experience! You can make an impact in this role and get to directly address needs of local people. As others have mentioned in their reviews, language can be a pretty significant barrier. If you have no German language skills, it is definitely important to be patient and it can be very beneficial to learn a few basic phrases. Working hours were as expected and the days off each week allowed for a lot of time to explore Duisburg and cities nearby.

It was one of the best experiences I've had :) really, everyone on the project is always very helpful. The work is very incredible, you help people and that is very satisfying. All the people in the store are also incredible, they are very patient in explaining the functions. It really was the best experience I've had, I'm extremely grateful to have participated in this project.

This was my first experience and I couldn't have choose better. I had the best time at the organization! The people that works there are really friendly and is always up to help in whatever you need (thank you Yannik, Kai and Mary!). The work is socially relevant and was great to help the community. The hours are respected and the job is not too hard, they teach you what you need to do. I always felt safe and welcomed there, and had the opportunity to talk with the locals and learn the language. I would recommend this place for a volunteer work!

Yannik is a great host! He has excellent English and is always available to support the volunteers. At the organization you will be able to help in the kitchen or in the clothes store. In both places you will be able to be in contact with refugees, germans and people in need. As most of the people around do not peak English, communication can be a barrier, but google translate can help you. Important to say that the internet at the house is not the best one, so if you have to work besides your volunteering position, it would be interesting to contract an internet provider.

I felt truly integrated into the organization family. Mary the cook does not speak English but she tries to communicate as best as possible. If you are lucky like me and meet other good volunteers you will enjoy it a lot. I highly recommend this volunteering, you will have a lot of time to visit the different places in Germany, and the work is really easy, it's great.

The organization was a very memorable experience for me and I would definitely love to go back in the future. Everyone was really nice and welcoming and I found the work was pretty easy despite not being able to communicate well with the main cook. She was lovely and very welcoming towards us nonetheless. There was lots of time off which me and the other world-packer used to travel Germany and other surrounding counties, however the best part was the days when we were working. The people were very grateful and It feels really good to help others and know you a doing a good thing for the community.

This was An amazing experience! Yannik was an amazing communicator, which I was a lil nervous about, lacking a little bit of communication from other hosts here initially. I was respected in this position, and hours were as well, to the point I had the ability to travel lots and immerse myself more in the German culture. Getting to know all the people coming in to eat the lunch everyday was so sweet, and also connecting with Mary, the main kitchen staff, was sometimes difficult with the language barrier, but it also made it a learning experience, that was both fun & funny!😊 Thanks so much.

Yannik is a very nice person and available for any information. Mary is very kind and creates a pleasant environment for the work. What you do is rewarding and I am very happy to have been able to help here. The tasks are very simple. You have a lot of free time, but the neighbourhood didn't make me feel safe to go out alone
