I visited the organization Association with my friends during our vacation in Brazil. We discovered an incredible family, and from the very first moment, we felt at home. Leisa, Maisa, and Maristela are amazing people who truly take care of you. They created this association years ago, founded on love for others, and they dedicate themselves to it every single day, wholeheartedly believing in their mission. They are building something extraordinary, and I'm so happy to have had the opportunity to meet this wonderful project. If you happen to visit, know that you'll leave with your heart full.Thankyou

My experience at the organization was beyond what I imagined. From the very first day you feel at home. Maisa, Maria Estela, Leisa and Fernandho welcome you like family. It's a deeply immersive way to discover Rio, taking part in community life, joining and even helping plan activities for the kids. You're surrounded by music, joy, and genuine connection every day. Even without knowing the language, you start to understand and communicate so quickly with them that it feels effortless. I leave with gratitude, unforgettable memories, and the hope to return.

I am eternally grateful for the incredible experience I had with the organization. Volunteering here truly feels like a home away from home; this family-run organization cares deeply about their volunteers. When I was sick, I was taken care of, when I needed something, they would be sure to help out, and they went above and beyond in every aspect. The work expected is very reasonable and very rewarding, and you get to engage with and help the community. I am so happy I volunteered here, but I'm sad my time was so short. I could not recommend this experience more, and I'd love to return to the organization soon :-)

The organization isn't just an organization. It's a home, a community full of love, respect, and a deep commitment to caring for others. The work is light, and they always make sure you feel comfortable and supported. And the food… I was so lovingly spoiled with incredible meals and homemade cakes. I feel incredibly lucky to have been part of this beautiful mission. Thank you, Maisa, Mariestela, Leisa, and Fernando, for sharing your home and your kindness.

This is a family-run organisation that are really making a difference in their community through educational and social projects. They share their home and meals with their worldpackers and are very attentive. They are flexible with your needs, which allows for doing your own thing as well. I had my own room and bathroom, which was very comfortable. Thank you guys so much for this wonderful experience and best of luck with your project in the future ❤️

My stay at the organization Association was amazing. You will be staying at the organisation in the same building where all the activity happens and you will be sharing your days with the family of Meisa, her children and sister. The “working hours” were very flexible and tasks were very creative, I was helping Leisa with some content creation for social media. I had a chance to meet many of the youth members, teach them English and practise my Portuguese. If you are looking for family atmosphere and you enjoy being with kids this experience is definitely for you! Com muito saudade de vocês! 🫶🏻

Such a beautiful message, full of warmth! You were such a special part of our family here at the Agape Association, and we will miss your energy, your smile, and the way you connected with the children. You’ll always have a place in our hearts, and we’ll be waiting for you with open arms. Thank you for everything you did here—it really made a difference. We’ll miss you so much 💖

Um projeto inspirador, conduzido com grande dedicação em impactar positivamente a sociedade, através de ações sociais voltadas para mulheres em situação de vulnerabilidade, aulas de idiomas, música e apoio escolar. A Leisa, Maisa e a Mariestela fizeram-me sentir parte da família e foram incrivelmente compreensivas e flexíveis com os horários de trabalho, proporcionaram-me todas as condições para me sentir confortável, com um quarto e casa de banho só para mim. Agradeço de coração por me receberem tão bem. Desejo que este projeto continue a crescer e que impacte cada vez mais vida!

Mi experiencia en la organización fue increíble y grandiosa. Maisa, Leisa y Mariestela te hacen sentir como en casa. Tienes una imnersion en la cultura brasileña al 100%, desde la comida, el fútbol, la música. Participar en las reuniones con la comunidad, enseñar inglés y español fue parte de mis actividades como voluntaria. La ONG realiza proyectos muy bonitos para los niños, las mujeres y la comunidad de bajos recursos.
