Through these immersive, one-of-a-kind experiences, our travelers have the opportunity to exchange ideas, customs and problem-solving techniques in the spirit of mutual respect, and to contribute with time or resources to emerging communities.
Community Support
In the heart of Bairro Alto neighborhood sits a hidden secret old convent with a beautiful history and a small, but beautiful, cloister. The nuns take care of the house, but mainly take care of 30 handicapped girls that have been abandoned by their families. Known for their famous jams (shhh – it’s a secret recipe), today you will join one of the nuns with a trip to the market to buy supplies, followed by a fun couple of hours making their exquisite jam. The jams are then sold by the nuns to help take care of the girls and their Convent.
Azurara Palace
Visit a Portuguese palace where you will be able to see how nobles lived in 18th century Portugal. The foundation contributes to the conservation and restoration of art pieces. Visit the Craft Center to observe their restoration projects at work.
Re-Food
Re-food is a local organization in Lisbon whose mission is to eliminate food waste and end hunger, involving the full community, in common cause. They take excess food from restaurants, cafes, and markets around town, repackage them and deliver to those in need. You are welcome to help in one of the three phases – collection, packaging or distribution.
Family Meal
Experience an evening of local dining as your family joins a resident family for a shared meal around their table. Learn customs and traditions while exchanging ideas about family life and culture. Based upon the preference of the client, as well as destination, this opportunity may be a shared meal, cooking lesson and/or market visit.

To Know Before You Go
- Portugal is ideal for children of all ages. Lisbon offers much in terms of fun activities. The beaches in the south are filled with family resorts perfect for a few days in the sun.
- Spring and fall are the best times to visit weather-wise (although September is very busy, especially in the Douro Valley for the grape harvest). The summer is also very good weather; however, the crowds are much larger.
- A valid passport is required with six months before expiration for entry into Portugal.
