Volunteer & Intern in Nutrition and Public Health Abroad

Volunteer in a nutrition project in the Philippines and help Volunteer for the Visayans address a critical public health issue. Volunteers will work closely with VFV staff and local communities to tailor projects to combat hunger and improve food security through heightened nutritional awareness. Poor nutrition is a major problem in the Filipino community, leading to chronic diseases, malnourishment, and vitamin deficiencies. We aim to educate Filipinos on reducing sugar and salt intake while increasing vegetable consumption. The Nutrition Public Health Project targets preschool children in undernourished communities. Volunteers will work with VFV's Community Feeding Project, planning, budgeting, and providing supplementary feeding menus for the daily feeding of up to 35 preschool children. At the same time, volunteers will work closely with local mothers to educate them on the importance of nutrition and to investigate and implement long-term solutions to combat hunger and food security. Such methods include investigating the possibility and effectiveness of organizing community feeding kitchens.

Great experience volunteering in HuaHin

I had a great time in Thailand volunteering through IVHQ. Their pre departure checklists and videos were really helpful, and gave me confidence. The handover to the local team was seamless, with pickups and transport working really well. During the placement, the accommodation was great, with a good range of extra activities to get involved in during our downtime. In my third week, I transferred to a private room, as my boyfriend joined, and this again was seamless, with local pickups and drop offs only a whatsapp away. And the placement itself was sooo rewarding! I did construction and renovation which was sometimes tough in the heat, but well worth it to see the gratitude on the faces of the pupils and teachers at the kindergarten.
