Anthropology Volunteering in Philippines

With its 7000 islands and history of Spanish rule, the Philippines offer a unique Asian experience set apart geographically and culturally from mainland Asia. Projects are available for anyone interested in volunteering in the developing world, whether you are student on a gap year or summer vacation, a professional on career break, or a retired volunteer. Projects Abroad in the Philippines is based on Cebu Island, part of the Visayan Islands region. While living with local host families in Cebu City and surrounding smaller towns, volunteers can work in orphanages or care centers helping disadvantaged children, teach English in both primary and secondary schools, do medical internships in the local hospitals, intern in journalism, coach sports, and learn the local Cebuano language.
