    Om programmet

    Overview
    Help to teach and provide support to the local teacher at a special needs school in Tacloban City. The students, aged 5-12, have either physical, mental, or developmental disabilities. The need for the school can help the children to learn in a more appropriate environment as they often get frustrated in a standard school.

    The aim is to work alongside the local teacher and help to ease the load for them, as well as helping to help mentor the children. Usually, a maximum of 10 pupils is recommended for a special needs school, however in reality due to the lack of specialist schools, classroom sizes are often larger than this.

    For this reason, classes are divided into morning and afternoon sessions, each session only having a few pupils. There are also some pupils who require a one-on-one mentoring. The school is open from 8am-4pm, with a 1-hour break for lunch at 12pm. Volunteers are required to work from 8am-12pm (4 hours) and can stay on for the afternoon session if desired.

    Children are divided into 6 classes:
    • Multiple disabilities. This class teaches children with more than one disability.
    • Intellectual disability. Included in this class are children with Down Syndrome.
    • Autism.
    • Hearing Impairment
    • Learning disability/visual impairment. Among the children in this class are those who have difficulty in writing, reading, and recognizing numbers.
    • Transition (prevocational). It is a class of children who “passed” from the above 5 classes.

    Volunteers under the Special Education Project must be skilled and experienced in working with children with special needs. This project can be challenging due to the complexity of the students, although extremely rewarding. We ask that volunteers go with the flow, as needs can change at any time. A great attitude, flexibility and understanding will go a long way.

    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.

    Typisk dag

    Working hours are generally 8am to 12pm. You are welcome to stay until 4pm if desired.

    Henting fra flyplassen på D. Z. Romualdez Airport

    Programs begin every Monday, and volunteers are required to arrive the day prior, for orientation before the project. Your accommodation on the Sunday is included in the program fees.

    A free airport pickup is included when arriving to Tacloban airport before 6pm on the Sunday before your project.

    You will use public transportation to and from your project (a degree of patience is sometimes required for this!). Jeepneys, multicabs, and tricycles normally stop often along the route to pick up or drop off passengers.

    The commute to the school should not take more than 40 minutes but there is no specific schedule for a jeepney’s trip. Jeepneys just come along anytime, hence a time should be allotted in waiting for them.

    The daily commute requires a multicab from Bliss to Palo J&F, which costs Php 15.00. From J&F take a tricycle going to Palo market, costing Php 15.00. From the market, it is a short distance to the school, which can be easily reached by foot.

    On the way back, just walk to the main road, catch a jeepney heading to Robinson’s Marasbaras terminal. This trip costs Php 20.00. Then from the terminal, catch a multicab or e-jeep back to the volunteer centre. This trips costs between Php 12-14.

    Volunteers will be briefed on getting to placement and back to Tacloban during the orientation at the beginning of the program.

    Overnatting

    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.

    Mat og drikke

    Breakfast and dinner are provided but volunteers will need to buy their own lunch which costs approx. 50-80 pesos. Access to filtered drinking water will also be provided by your home stay. 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.
