| Project Attended: | Building Project |
| Country Attended: | Philippines |
| You were excited to get involved with the physical labour of the work and see the tangible effects, how did you find it? | Fantastic, really happy about that. It was satisfying hard labour – really good. Very hard work but just what I was looking for. |
| Do you feel that the project works well to tackle some of the social challenges? | Yes. It was satisfying getting to learn how children are selected for sponsorship and families chosen for the build a home project – getting to understand the mechanics of the system, meet the families and see that they need the help. |
| What was the best part of the project? | I think that the experience of living with a family is very valid and helps with an understanding of the context of the society – the families and the children and the challenges they face. So I would say that was one of the best parts, 50% of it being the building and 50% being the homestay experience. |
| Would you do it again? | Yes, It has motivated me to do more and focus on where I want to make a difference. |
Testimonial
“It’s good that there’s age diversity in the participants. The communities seem very supportive. I really like the fact that families in the community get an income through the homestays. It’s been excellent!”
