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

The work is small and easy. The schedules were respected. Maria, the chef, is great!! When we couldn't understand each other with the mix of German and English, she showed us how the service should be done. She was always happy and humming along. The group of volunteers was really cool and we were able to exchange lots of tips and experiences. Overall, it was satisfactory, but don't have too high expectations.

I'm very grateful for this experience. Yannik is very welcoming. The work in the kitchen with Mary is fun and fulfilling, she creates a lovely working environment :-) In both jobs you are confronted with less fortunate people but who are very kind and friendly. The area is mostly made up of immigrants and refugees, which can be an adjustment initially but I didn't feel unsafe in the end. Duisburg provides a good hub for travel. I would recommend having enough money to travel and buy meals for dinner and on the weekend. I recommend this place if you want to travel and improve German skills :-)

This was a nice experience since I got to know many locals and international travelers. The work is actually very rewarding and the hours are the ones expected. I'd recommend this for someone that can be proactive and also to the people that would like to travel around Germany.

The organization was my first experience. We'd got a great meeting with the main organiser, who take time to explain where we are, what are the tasks and show to us all the place where're we at with kindness and a good English ! The tasks are not hard plus you're surrendered with people who just want to help us ! My best regards to Mary, Yannik, Kai. And to all the travelers who shared with me!
