September 15, 2018by: Auchithya Mestrige - ItalyProgram: Food Rescue Program in Lisbon and PortoThe experience was amazing, I couldn't ask for more. I started to look at life from a different prospective: there are people less fortunate than me and I am lad I could be a part of this process to help them even if it was not that big. After this, I want to take part in more of these projects.
Amazing experience
August 22, 2018by: Julia Gollobit - United StatesProgram: Food Rescue Program in Lisbon and PortoI loved getting to know the staff at ImpactTrip as well as the other volunteers. The hostel and food was very nice. It was great to get to know the Portuguese through volunteering and my project was amazing. I learned so much about it’s operation and hope to spread it.
