BE A VOLUNTEER
BECOME A VOLUNTEER
Volunteering is one of the most impactful ways to support a charitable organization. By volunteering, we provide you with an opportunity to re-engage with others and contribute your energy and skills in a meaningful manner!
Sartre was mistaken — paradise lies in the genuine, friendly, and honest exchange of moments with others. It’s about simply being present and sharing with one another, without any ulterior motive.
There’s nothing more beautiful than the gift of oneself. Your energy and knowledge will be invaluable and deeply appreciated.
We recently opened a program vacancy on Workaway.info, you can see the project description below:
LATELY WE RECEIVED
October 2024: Spanish volunteer Javier. He helped us relaunch clubs that were in stand-by, did English tutoring for some students, helped renew the website, and provided assistance in taking pictures to share on our social networks.
November 2023: Rachel and Fabio came to visit from Portugal for two weeks. Since they contacted us in advance, they managed to collect soccer, chess, and tennis equipment from Portuguese institutions (bank, chess club, soccer clubs).
May 2023: We received Lucas for one month, an American student who was based in Portugal. He launched a fundraiser and was able to collect more than 1000 USD, thus buying brand new equipment for the association: boxing gloves and pads, chess sets, soccer equipment…
See the memory video clip made by Lucas, one year after his visit:
