Volunteers of the Shalom Missionary Expedition have just arrived in Praia, Cape Verde where Shalom Catholic Community has been present since 2016. The Expedition Program is an initiative created by the Human Promotion Advisory which aims to integrate volunteer services and works to rescue human dignity providing help to the neediest in different parts of the world.
There are now 21 volunteers and missionaries in Praia from Brazil and Italy. They’ve come to share joy, hope and God’s love through their volunteer service. As their first activity, they celebrated a Holy Mass with Cardinal Arlindo Furtado who welcomed and blessed them.
The next 12 days will be an incredible experience of loving God by serving those who are vulnerable and in most need of care and love. Poverty and lack of education and health care are the main challenges in the country so the volunteers are going to provide medical care and distribute hygiene care kits, educational materials, food, clothes and shoes to the people.
If you’d like to know more about the Shalom Volunteer Program and how to take part in the next expeditions, contact Shalom Human Promotion Advisory by email:

This and various other initiatives of the Shalom Catholic Community are carried out with the help of benefactors who share our commitment to promote a culture of peace in the world which awaits peace in the world, “awaiting the manifestation of the children of God” (Rom 8:19).
