VIDA Project volunteers participate in a campaign to collect goods for babies

A group of volunteers from the VIDA project - Volunteering at Católica - participated in the collection of goods for the Apoio à Vida institution on 13 October.

The collection of basic goods for babies took place in the Auchan Amoreiras supermarket in Lisbon, with the help of six volunteers from the VIDA project. The products collected are intended for the babies of the mothers supported by the institution.

Apoio à Vida is one of the partners of the VIDA project and develops its activities in the area of support for pregnant women in difficulty at all levels (psychological, social, educational and labour market integration).

The VIDA project is aimed at students at all levels of education on the Católica headquarters campus who wish to do voluntary work. The volunteer activities available are as varied as the partner institutions themselves, ranging from study support to fundraising, rubbish collection and meal distribution, among others. Ajuda de Mãe, the Jesuit Refugee Service and Comunidade Vida e Paz are some of the associations involved in this project.

The VIDA project, organised in partnership between the Office of Social Responsibility (GRS) and Católica's Chaplaincy, provides for the complete supervision of the volunteers, from their registration to their training and integration in the different institutions.
