Healthcare program Philippines

Volunteering in rural healthcare was my first volunteer program and I’m so satisfied and feel content with it.

There was no room for any kind of surprise as everything went on the first day as it was described in the information packet. Upon arrival, we received a structured schedule. So volunteering was pretty satisfying in this sense: we had a well-structured program, and there was room for fun, too.

The local team is professional, cooperative, understanding, and flexible. Local food, the cooks are great! They always ask if there’s someone with special needs or follows a strict diet. Accommodation is really good considering that the beach is only a 3-minute walk, we have close contact with the local police, close to schools, kids' houses, etc.

The only thing I could mention would be that the toilet and shower are in one place and the room is small.
