I volunteer for two weeks, one in caneças and one in Lisbon. Both experiences are valuable. Caneças is more isolated but will really open your heart to other people, it was really great discovering this place and be part of this community, even tho it can be hard when you arrive. In Lisbon, you feel more free and help mainly in the shop. Ophélie is really kind and ready to help you with anything ! This volunteering is great if you look to open your mind and want to help for something. You will for sure be changed after this :) this place and people warmed my heart ! Thanks for everything

Such an amazing organization, amazing hosts , and an amazing first experience with Worldpackers. the organization is an incredible organization with impressive goals, I had no idea how international and long-standing the organization truly is until I started volunteering for them. Ophelia and Humberto were very kind and accommodating, I felt welcome and taken care of in every way possible. I got a good mix of helping at the Lisbon site and in the canecas location. I loved the work I did and all of the people I worked with, would definitely return and I recommend this to anyone considering it :)

Thanks Dena ! We loved having you with us, and liked the talks and the curiosity you had about Emaus and our organization. We're glad this first experience with Worldpackers turned into a very good memory of your trip to Europe, and we would be happy to see you back visiting us !

There are some experiences on Earth that are truly invaluable, and the organization was undoubtedly one of them. You can expect to encounter two distinct work centers, each with its unique characteristics. Humberto and Ophélie will warmly welcome you at Arroiros with the utmost courtesy. On the other hand, Caneças offers a completely different environment where you'll need to adjust to specific rules and longer working hours. However, rest assured that you'll be surrounded by beautiful souls who deeply appreciate your work, and they'll greet you with the most genuine smiles. Long live the organization!

So where do I start? Coming to the organization was a gift for me. I felt welcomed since the first moment. I had the chance to work on something that really matters! My main job was in the second hand shop, with the clothes - but there is a lot of different works to do! I made a lot of friends and I've learned a lot with them and the community life. If you are willing to work hard and ready to receive and spread love, you can come! Thank you all for everything. Don't give up making this place and world better and better. I love you all! :)
