We have a very enthusiastic team of 15 people preparing for our immersion trip to the Philippines in April. Our ages range from 15 to 70 and we have a number of mother and daughter pairs!
We are travelling to San Pio Village near Cebu City where we will be helping to complete a Livelihood Centre for the residents. Communities for Communities has raised over $220,000 to help build houses and infrastructure for San Pio Village. The residents of San Pio were previously living on a garbage tip known as Smokey Mountain. A group of C4C volunteers spent a week in San Pio in 2006 building houses and developing links with that community. Rob Neely, who was part of the 2006 group, is leading the 2012 trip.
Dates for travel are 11 - 21 April, 2012.
It is still possible to join the group, but you had better be quick. Here are some forms that will explain more about what's involved:
