The Grão is an international volunteer project, made up of university students and young professionals, with Jesuit inspiration. The main objective is to promote the training of young volunteers in order to equip them with the necessary skills to carry out short-term development missions.

The Missions are held in Portuguese-speaking African countries during the summer months, in cooperation with NGOs and other local organizations.
Since 2006, Grão has already sent 118 volunteers to various communities in Mozambique, Angola and Sao Tome & Principe. All mission costs are borne by holding events over a year of training and by the willingness and donations of others.

The value raised with this auction will help the departure of volunteers to the PALOP's during the coming summer months, as well as the possible costs of activities carried out in the local communities.
