Volunteer in a kindergarten on a beautiful, tropical island in the Philippines! Daily activities include supporting the local staff, creating fun and educational games and organizing activities to teach English in an informal way. Volunteers will create games, sports activities, and songs for the children every morning. Following lunch, volunteers will spend the remainder of the afternoon planning lessons for the next day. Weekends are free to island hop and explore or to just relax at the beach.

Learn about the organization of the Philippines' mostly devolved health system and the different issues in providing appropriate healthcare in the context of its unique geography while witnessing its cultural diversity and natural beauty. Many remote, hard-to-reach islands, otherwise known as geographically isolated disadvantaged areas (GIDA), hospitals, and healthcare clinics strive to deliver quality health services despite the often inadequate infrastructure, investment, supplies, and personnel. Experience first-hand the daily healthcare challenges faced by “barangays” or villages, on remote islands in the provinces of Quezon, Lubang, and Romblon. Visit premiere urban public and private health facilities in the capital city of Manila before the remote island immersion for a better appreciation of the dichotomies between public versus private and rural versus urban healthcare systems. Meet local health professionals at the Department of Health and the WHO Western Pacific Regional Office Headquarters and enjoy cultural lectures and excursions led by CFHI's on-site partners.

The Philippines is a stunning archipelago of over 7,000 islands, known for its secluded beaches, pristine coves, vibrant marine life, world-class diving, surfing, hiking, and breathtaking turquoise waterfalls.

Despite this natural beauty, the Philippines faces significant economic challenges and remains one of the poorest nations in Southeast Asia—where volunteering can make a meaningful impact.

The Philippines is composed of more than 7000 islands encompassing diverse terrains and landscapes – from rice fields to megacities and from beaches to volcanoes. The country boasts awe-inspiring beauty and a plethora of natural resources, but also startling poverty. Our program site is in the province of Nueva Ecija, about 100 miles from Manila. The people of this community are neglected and marginalized in terms of social development. As a result, they live in poverty. Women, children, and the disabled bear the effect of massive poverty, and it is to this particularly needy population that we direct our efforts. At Globe Aware, we offer work projects geared toward: Education assistance for children with disabilities Repair/construction of houses for families of the disabled Reforestation Repair or construction of basic housing and sanitation buildings
