EVS BOOKLET CASA DO POVO CAMARA DE LOBOS

Night out can‘t start without traditional drink poncha! If you like strong drinks you should
as well try the traditional Câmara de Lobos rum with honey aguardente com mel that
fishermen have been drinking for ages. On summer evenings when you would like to cool
down a bit you should take nikita a refreshing sweet drink made of beer, ice cream and
small pieces of pineapple.
EVERYDAY REALITY, LIFE CONDITIONS
We were the first long term EVS volunteers that Casa do Povo hosted and we must say
that our average living standard was very nice and comfortable. We were living in a house,
each volunteer had a private room, and we shared the bathroom and kitchen which were
all very well equipped. We had a spacious living room as well and 2 balconies. The house
was in the centre of Câmara de Lobos and just a 7 min walk to the office of Casa do Povo.
According to our contract we had all the bills covered, which included the internet, cable
TV and water and electricity of course. These are the conditions we had in our contract,
so recommendation from us is to pay attention to your contract because it might be
different.
Since the bills were covered we got our pocket money every month which served for food
and any other personal use, like coffee or poncha We were getting 250 euros
