From volunteering on a humanitarian project with members of the local community to an exciting adventure in the beautiful Bacuit Archipelago, you don't want to miss out on this opportunity to do tourism right!
1, 2, 4 Week Adventure Volunteer Trip General Breakdown:
First Half: Time to get dirty!
Get ready for intense volunteering in the community. Projects will reflect the current needs of local communities. Since 23% of the population in Palawan lives in extreme poverty, we're going to work with these families to empower them and RADICALLY change their lives.
Previous/potential projects include building a school, building homes, building co-operative restaurant, teaching about renewable energy – building solar hot water heaters, teaching ways to combat malnutrition – sustainable agriculture, healthy meal preparation, training in vocational skills, teaching oral hygiene, running summer camps, etc.
Second Half: Adventure Time!
After completing your epic volunteer task we're going on an island hopping camping trip around El Nido! Where you'll snorkel in breathtakingly beautiful tropical reefs, climb limestone karst cliffs, relax in a paradise, eat freshly caught seafood and laze your nights away under the stars. Then back to shore we head – for a bicycle journey/jungle trekking waterfall excursion. Where you'll see the natural flora and fauna and take a cooling dip in a natural pool, deep in the rainforest.
