    Why is public health so important in the Philippines?
    Public health issues including obesity, diabetes and chronic heart disease are a major concern to poorer communities with a lack of governmental support and education. A basic understanding of the dangers associated with high sugar, salt and fatty diets is not widely accepted among many Filipino communities. In these regions, issues of food security and hunger are also significant issues. This program involves two main components being Community Feeding & Nutritional Education.

    A critical objective is to educate Filipinos on the need to cut back on the amount of sugar and salt they use in their local diet, and to increase consumption of vegetables. There is little public education on these needs.

    There are very few nutritional experts in the Philippines. The aim is to help reduce the current high incidence of premature deaths, hypertension, diabetes, and other illnesses, with the education around these issues. 

    You will also work on the feeding project, where volunteers will help plan supplementary feeding menus for the daily feeding of preschool children. Volunteers will work closely with families providing natural health services and education, implementing long term solutions to combat hunger and food security, by getting involved in local feeding kitchens and community healthcare programs.

    You may also get involved in health promotion activity including education within various central and rural community centres on methods to cut back sugar and salt intake and to increase the consumption of fresh fruit & vegetables. Very little public education exists in this area and there is a massive opportunity to make a real difference!

    Location
    Tacloban is approximately 360 miles from Manila. It’s the capital of the Province of Leyte and has a population of 275,000 people. The city offers international volunteers an opportunity to be immersed in a unique Asian culture, which is at least partially left untouched by Western Culture, especially in the rural areas. In November 2013, Tacloban was one of the most devastated areas of the Philippines when Super Typhoon Yolanda (Hayian) ravaged through the Philippines; therefore, the city and surrounding areas now present an even greater range of opportunities for international volunteers. Tacloban is easily accessible by air from Manila or Cebu through daily flights offered by Philippines Airlines, Cebu Pacific, and Zest Air.

    Project Tasks
    • Head to the markets to pick up healthy food to feed the children
    • Assist on the childrens feeding program, providing quality meals and interacting with the kids
    • Educate the local community on healthy diet and exercise

    Unterkunft

    At the core of your experience is the friendly and warm accommodating local home stay, who have been accepting volunteers for over a decade. Life inside a homestay is not only safe and cost effective, but is also a great way to contribute to the local economy and to experience the true nature and culture of the Philippines. All homestays have electricity and running water.

    You will have a private room by yourself or shared with a fellow volunteer. Mosquito net, electric fan, bed linens and door lock are also provided. The bathroom will be shared with the family and will be basic with cold, bucket baths (hot running showers are uncommon in Philippines) as it’s so tropical and warm! All home stays are English speaking. The home stays have been thoroughly evaluated before being accepted into the program and have been in operation for several years. You will be able to experience the Filipino culture and participate in the daily life of a local.

    Verpflegung

All meals will be served with rice and typically include fish, chicken or pork. Home stays can cater for special dietary restrictions, however we require advance notice so we can place you accordingly.
