SPEAK Buddy Mauro Carvalho

Being part of SPEAK is like being part of a family that is growing and where we can meet new people, new cultures, new languages, and new mentalities every day. At SPEAK we all have the opportunity to teach and to learn. SPEAK continuously shows me that we can still believe in the world and in humanity, that we can still help others without looking at who is ahead of us.

testimonial by SPEAK participant Naky

SPEAK for me it's like travelling without leaving Portugal. I share my culture and I learn from other people's culture. That helps to understand how other people live and how they think too.

- Naky Gaglo (Buddy)

SPEAK buddy Nakita

Last August, I moved to Portugal from the US. It’s my first time living in another country and I’m very anxious about fitting in here, particularly since I’m not proficient in Portuguese. I became a buddy with SPEAK in November, and have been sharing my native language, English, and helping fellow immigrants with basic Portuguese. This experience has helped me feel welcome and confident that I can thrive here.
