PROJECT INTRODUCTION
Help Give Wings to the Dreams of Children on the beautiful island of Palawan in the Philippines!
This project involves volunteering as a childcare worker at an orphanage in Palawan. Volunteers will teach English and play with the children, helping them gain more experiences and dream bigger dreams. Join us in expanding the world for these children, who live in a limited environment, so they can move towards a brighter future through your efforts.
1. You can grow alongside the children by teaching them English.
The most important activity for participants in this project will be teaching English to the children at the orphanage. As Palawan is a popular tourist destination, children who are proficient in English will have better opportunities to work in better environments in the future. Therefore, learning English from international teachers is a significant advantage for their future.
Grow alongside the children as they learn English! Experience real-world English education and enhance your own value. The time spent with the children will become a special part of your career.
2. Show the children in Palawan a wider world so they can dream of a bigger future.
Join us in supporting the growth of children in Palawan! Children who grow up in challenging environments without enough love will receive the attention and affection necessary for their development through time spent with teachers.
Moreover, by learning English from international teachers, the children of Palawan will have access to more diverse futures. Proficiency in English can lead to better job opportunities and higher wages, which in turn brings economic stability and a more varied life.
Imagine the bright future of the children of Palawan growing through your support! Their journey to a broader world will return to you as a fulfilling happiness.
3. Experience a time of recovery while living with people full of love.
If you are feeling weary and hurt from relationships, take time for healing in Palawan. The time spent in the loving environment of Palawan will soothe your heart.
Surrounded by the innocent smiles of Palawan’s children, who run to greet and hug international teachers, the dedicated local staff working hard to make the world a better place, and the volunteers from around the world who have come to Palawan with hearts full of love, you will feel your long-standing wounds heal and love fill your heart once more.
Palawan, where you can receive far more love than you expect, is waiting for you.
