Volunteers of the Month
Our Volunteers of the Month for April are the Amigas.
The Amigas grew from an idea of Jeanine Nazareth and Theresa Lopes back in 2007 to do more to welcome and help newcomers to IWP and Portugal. Over the years, those meetings have evolved into the Let’s Meet coffee mornings (see photo above) and – since last year – the locality meetings (in Cascais, Parede, Lisbon and Sintra). The locality groups usually meet once a month for coffee or lunch, and new members in the area are automatically invited to come along. If you would like to be invited to a group in a different locality from where you live, contact Jeanine, the Amigas coordinator. Jeanine tells us that the Amigas have exciting plans for new local activities, so check our Events page regularly to find out what is going on. Our thanks to all the Amigas for helping members settle in and get to know one another in an informal setting.

Eleven members enjoyed the flavors and spices of Angola at the Souk restaurant in Cascais this month. From a mouthwatering fish soup , delicious chicken stew and lemon and coconut dessert with contrasting blends of flavors, a nice meal was enjoyed by all.
