Volunteer day: Refugee Welcome Picnic, Recife
Our small team in Recife is running the Refugee Welcome Picnic and needs volunteers for set-up, serving and clean-up.

Every year the Refugee Welcome Picnic brings together 274 neighbors in Recife. I help organize it with 10 other volunteers, and this year our numbers are down.
We need people for registration, sorting donations and carrying boxes. Shifts are four hours long and you can pick the one that suits you. Food and drinks are provided for all volunteers.
It's a long-standing tradition, and our goal is to keep it free. No experience is necessary - we'll brief everyone at the start of the day.
If you can come with a friend, even better. Please say in the comments which shift works for you.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Good luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless.
Sending strength. I hope things turn around soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it!
So sorry you're going through this, Miguel. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Recife!
Thanks for sharing this. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
