First of all thank you. I had a really great time here. The team I worked with were very friendly and helpful. The work was simpel and easy to handel. The shifts I worked always suited me. Everytime I had lunch there it was delisious. Faro is a beautiful place to stay. We got in touche with a lot of people there and there are all amazing. I really can recommend this volunteer work there.

This was my first WP experience, and I had a great time! I met a lot of amazing people and formed new friendships, and Faro is a nice city. I sometimes had to work at the other locations which was a nice change, and the lunch we had together was always good and nice to meet the other volunteers. The training could've been better. Often i was the only one working at a location without a manager or anything, which made it sometimes more difficult. Because of this you sometimes have to learn by making mistakes.

I stayed together with a friend at the central guesthouse. At first we were in a room for four people with two other girls, which was a bit crowded but after asking if two of us could use another room there was no problem. The rooms are pretty simple but a nice size. There were a few small things like rust in the showers (bring flip flops!) & no working oven, schedules only come out at 1 in the night before working, but nothing dramatic. The work is easy and the lunch & the people there were great!

+made friends🥰, +amazing lunch everyday!! (and always a veggie option for me!🙏)&good equipment in the kitchen,+ I could work independently -hostel itself is not as social as I thought bcs the other volunteers where in general more older & minded more there own business, a few didn't spoke good English or just a bit -volunteer rooms, bathrooms where old and partly really broken (showers) -felt like I didn't get all important infos in the training, so I learned by mistakes&time, there was mostly a lot work to do(cleaning shift),felt alone with problems bcs mostly worked alone in the shift

I wanted to share some feedback on my experience. And i hope this feedback is helping moving forward. The space has potential but the atmosphere was disappointing. There wasn't much a volunteer vibe, as many people seemed tired and disconnected. I believe there should be more responsible people doing more guidance for volunteers focusing on collaborating rather than just responsibilities. The lack of group connection and empathy affects the experience.

A vibe realmente melhorou muito desde que foram e de 5 pessoas que vinham para o vosso almoço, triplicou imediatamente no dia que sairam ...coincidência certamente ou não ...como te disse pessoalmente às vezes o problema não está nos outros, mas em nós, neste caso realmente há a possibilidade de o problema estar em mim, mas estatisticamente se 99% das pessoas gostam e os comentários são bons e as expêriencias boas, depois 1% não ... tirem as vossas conclusões.
