About Program
In the Philippines, education remains a luxury most families cannot afford. This unfortunate social condition is mainly caused by poverty, poor nutrition, and the lack of teachers, school supplies, and facilities. In the process, some children are forced into labor to help their families, while there is also a significant number of unintended pregnancies and forced marriage cases. This program provides an opportunity for volunteers to render services in underserved school communities particularly in facilitating classroom activities, helping educate parents in the importance of the education of their children, and raising funds for educational programs.

Location
The Philippines being an archipelago comprised of over 7,000 islands lends itself well to a melting pot of diversity with different cultures and customs on each island. The Filipino people are known for the hospitality and will happily tell you the best islands for each activity; from sky-diving at Bantayan island to the untouched Caramoan island, you can't go wrong.
