About Program
The country is endowed with a plethora of beauty and natural resources, mega-cities, volcanoes, beaches, and rice fields, but it is also a land of startling poverty. The people of the Nueva Ecija community are neglected and marginalized in terms of social development. As a result, they live in poverty. Our program seeks to promote the value of “Bayanihan” a Filipino value of working together towards sustainable community development through volunteerism. Our work projects center around these core activities:
Education assistance for disabled children
Repair/construction of houses for families of the disabled
Reforestation
Repair or construction of basic housing and sanitation buildings

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.
