The first Portuguese volunteer is already working in Asia
She'll stay there for a year, and hopefully all will go well
We're hopping a lot more Portuguese volunteers
will step up and help Ubelong spreading smiles around the world
I'm Ana, I represent Casa da Felicidade (House of happiness)
an educational and social platform for healthier and more sustainable lifestyles
We're invited by Ubelong to be here and help spread the word about volunteering
The reason why we've organized this event has to do with the need to spread the word
not only about Ubelong, but about international volunteering overall
We're introducing an organization in particular, Ubelong, that we've contacted
And we've decided to help out, hence the Laughter Yoga session.
The idea presented here is: we give a smile, we ask people to give a smile back
In simple terms, we want to spread the idea that it's possible to go to other countries
and participate in initiatives that will be very interesting
not only from the point of view of those who are being helped, but also from your own
Think about this as a different kind of vacations, you go abroad for a couple of weeks
But this way you can really interact with the locals
and who knows, getting a really interesting personal experience
It was nice, we gathered here to ear about Ubelong, I didn't knew them
I'm always curious to know more about volunteering
I've done volunteering in the past, but more in the area of environment
Actually helping to grow plants, here we're talking about human beings
I am quite curious, could be a good idea to like their facebook and explore their website
