Help in the kitchen of the lunch program for people in need

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.

The experience was a rich opportunity to learn how to really help your community. There are several ways I participated in helping out. Every morning I worked at the thrift store. People would donate clothes and we'd then sell them for extremely cheap. And even give clothes to the needy. And the small amount of money we got was put to feeding the hungry. Everyday they would make a big meal for the hungry people and we got to help cook, and serve the food. There's also a boxing class I helped teach. It was really educational to learn those systems and how I can apply them at home.

My experience at the organization was nothing short of exceptional <3 The role was simple: organize clothes in store for the daily clothes drive, support in the kitchen w/ cooking, serving & cleaning, and housekeeping in the homeless shelter. I learnt a little bit of German & got to exercise Arabic & Turkish. The staff & volunteers I worked with were incredible: P Oliver, Bedia, Emine, Mervat, Manuela, Gunay, Marcela, Carlos, Rafael, Andre. I really enjoyed movie/ series, cooking and game nights with my roomies. Big love & thanks to Bedia & Emineh for all the support #sisters

My experience in St. Peter's Catholic Church (the organization) was unforgettable, it's a Family headed by P Oliver for all refuges, homeless people, workers, volunteers and everyone who wants to join. I had time to travel, practice my English, share good time with Emine, Bedia, Kai (staff the organization) and other volunteers (Carlos 🇲🇽 and Sameera 🇰🇼). I would like to come back one day 😊🙏

I can't describe by words how important and special this experience was for me. I could see with my own eyes there still exist people able to do their best to help the needy ones, no matter their nationality, color or religion. Pater Oliver is such a good person, he made me feel at home. He was always careful to show me places, explain me about the culture, history and always asking if I had enough food. I will never forget this place, thank you for everything, from all my heart, I hope comeback some day 😇💙

It's an excellent project and also an excellent volunteer. It's a beautiful multicultural experience where you learn about Germany and other countries. At that moment I felt the place as my home and I will never forget it. The activities are very fun and the teamwork is very respectful and charming, I've been working with people from Syria and another countries and they always jumped the obstacles of having different languages and cultures, to da good job for others, always from the will and respecting it. I also highlight your intention to learn and improve and I admire Father Oliver🙌🏻

I haven't words to say thank you so much the organization for everything, thank you for the warm welcome and for the unforgettable farewell. I really hope to see you all next summer and why not, stay longer enjoying this wonderful volunteer social project and continue to have fun and learn this new style of helping people with love and care that I saw in the organization. It was a wonderful experience, and I consider it one of the best times I had in Germany and I'm really thankful to God because that was my last volunteer experience in Germany and I really loved it. kisses to all and love you so much.

I met several people, got to know a little more about the city (Duisburg). In the rush as I needed to catch a late flight, I couldn't say goodbye to everyone and thank them, but it was a very nice experience. I met Bedia, who from day one made sure I was feeling good, and whatever I needed. Kai also always very helpful. The priest too, Sandra, sister and so many other people. Thank you very much, I hope to be able to come back and visit in another opportunity!

The organization was my first volunteering experience with worldpackers. It could not have been better. I felt very welcomed by the community. The work is not heavy, and the staff and other volunteers are very friendly and helpful. If given the opportunity, I would definitely volunteer again in the organization community. They welcomed us very well, provided us with food, tours, parties and the opportunity to work with refugees and the homeless, which allowed us to have a more humanitarian and social vision, in addition to a lot of diversity. Grade 10!
