The Experience

Temos uma loja de Peças de Segunda Mão, um bazar e sempre recebemos roupas com defeitos, precisando de ajustes, fazer upcycling, costurar sacolas, fazer customização e transformações. Temosuma máquian de costura, equipamentos e material, mas precisamos de dedicação e alguém que se comprometa com a causa da sustentabilidade. A pessoa também pdoerá participar do Bazar Solidário, quando montamos uma loja gratuita nos bairros e distritos da cidade.

This experience has been the first of my trip in Brazil and with WorldPackers, but staying and working with GAP has set a bar so high I know It's unfair for the next hosts in the future. but it surpassed all and each expectation I had, I loved the team, the town, the activities, and more importantly all the experiences I had ever since I got in touch with the GAP team to coordinate the stay. Felt right at home, being honest me and my travel partner do not want to leave, made amazing friends. learned about such a rich culture, had amazing experiences and learned so much. You'll love it.

Max, esse intercâmbio cultural entre Nicarágua e Bahia foi lindo e marcante. Seu comprometimento com as ações, suas mãos mágicas para a culinária, seu jeito de ser e fazer nos cativaram, obrigada pelas conversas produtivas e voltem sempre. A Bahia já é seu segundo lar. Feliz de quem receber vocês como voluntários. Sua experiência de vida muito colaborou com nosso processo interno de gestão. Abraços.

Mi experiencia como voluntaria del GAP fue súper interesante. Fui a apoyar con mi trabajo en costura y acabé aprendiendo mucho sobre la ciudad, sus comunidades y vida agrícola, sobre cuidado del medio ambiente y compostaje. El equipo y colaboradores fueron siempre muy amables y acogedores, me sentí en casa, tuve bastante libertad para hacer mi trabajo, pude conocer personas y lugares increíbles y participar de distintas actividades. Estoy muy agradecida por el recibimiento que tuve en el GAP y espero poder volver un día a concretas muchas de las ideas que pensamos durante mi estadía en Ilhéus

Foi minha primeira experiência como voluntária. Fiquei responsável pelo almoço e lanche da tarde. Gostei muito de todas as pessoas que trabalham no Gap, são muito educadas, amáveis, respeitosas e atenciosas. Aprendi sobre compostagem e vistei locais junto com o pessoal do Gap para verificar as composteiras. Muitas conversas legais sobre proteção ao meio ambiente, limpeza de rios e praias, reaproveitamento e reciclagens de materiais. Muita consciência social e ambiental. Sensacional o trabalho do Gap. Recomendo a experiência e voltaria com certeza. Valeu muito!

Minha vivência no GAP foi muito linda. Pude conhecer e participar de ações de limpeza a organização e entregas de composteiras. Tive aulas de surf com o Gabriel, dei muita risada com o Giu, boas conversas com o deivson, comi muita comidinha boa da Val, pude trocar conhecimento com a lore e a tirza, e organizar a lojinha com a adri. Me apaixonei pela florzinha e seus pais incríveis, davila e joão. fui contagiada pela alegria do rafa e pela inteligência e amor pela cultura local de Jurema. Tive colegas de trabalho, a organização e família. A casa é bem completa e confortável e eu voltaria + vezes 🤍

É difícil expressar em palavras o que foi minha experiência no GAP. Os horários são flexíveis, dá pra curtir a cidade e as praias. A acomodação é aconchegante e confortável. Além da cozinha, consegui participar de ações em algumas das frentes que eles atuam: Participei da feira de doação de roupas, da limpeza a organização, auxílio em missões humanitárias. Sou muito grata pela oportunidade, acolhimento e cada aprendizado. Agradeço de coração a todos, Gil, João, Maria Flor, Rafa, Deivison, Val, Lorena, Tirza, Isa e em especial a Jurema e D'Avilla por todo carinho e atenção ❤️
