Kate's Philippine Volunteer Trip

  • Mission Complete! .. For now

      7 October 2015

    Hello everyone!

    I haven't been on top of on going updates as I had planned to be, but I have put together a video to show what I have been doing and where your donations went.

    I have just finished my volunteering in Davao, after spending 3 very hot weeks helping a project based on building houses for the disabled and victims of flood and fire. The area was very undeveloped so the help and money towards resources was much needed, as the people didn't have much. I donated some tools to the workers including wheelbarrows, as many shovels as I could buy in the store and a saw too.

    The video will give you an idea of the conditions I was working in and the type of work we were doing. Of course I couldn't capture it all because my hands were often full and there was a lot of heavy lifting involved but when I had a bit of spare time I tried to capture what I could.

    Thank you again for your generous donations and help towards my volunteering experience. I really think I made a difference.

  • THANK YOU!!

      22 June 2015

    I'm so insanely blown away by the generosity of everybody who has pledged to help me so far! I never expected such an amazing response and I can't thank you all enough, it's honestly so heart warming. I set my goal low, just hoping to reduce some of my costs, but you have blown that out of the water. I now have the option of extending my voluntary experience, without having to worry about the financial side of it, thanks to all of you generous souls. I'm very lucky to have such great family and friends.

    I really can't thank you enough and now I just wish the next few months would hurry up so I can get out there and put this all to good use.

    Much Love xox
