Hey all,So this is my first blog since arriving in Tacloban. After an initial bumpy start getting here (metaphorically and literally- we had to divert our initial landing to the island of Cebu and when we did eventually land here, it wasn’t the smoothest of landings!) I am pleased to say that out group have …

Hi All A great day today lots of exciting projects to do. We set of at 7-00 ish in our air conditioned limo (jeepney) and got quickly into work loading playground equipment for the 2 nd play ground, putting the finishing touches to the 1 st playground. A group went out of the feeding programme …
Daleo’s daily blog-day 10
Magandang Gabi! Today was a long one with a 7am start for some of us. We’ve only got the one minibus to ferry us back and forth to the school, so can only take 20 at a time. The first half of us got to the lighthouse just before 8, for some egg on toast …

A thought provoking day visiting many of the remaining places in Tacloban where evidence of Typhoon Haiyan are still visible – from ruined buildings to mass graves and ships washed ashore. We also visited the site of General MacArthur’s second landing in Tacloban.

Daleo’s not quite daily blog-day 8/9
After the fun and games of yesterday, I didn’t quite manage to get a blog up last night, another double bumper edition tonight. We started yesterday with a nice leisurely 10am get up, with rooms needing to be cleared by 12. We managed to cram in everything, plus the extra sports equipment, and somehow keep …
Arrived in Tacloban
Pleased to say that we’ve finally arrived and installed ourselves in Tacloban – the journey was long, and involved an unexpected stop in Cebu due to bad weather in Tacloban, but we finally made it. It’s now 1am, and the group need to be up and out at 7:15 so hopefully everyone will get some …
Shakila’s experience on her 3rd return to PCF
Philippines Project 2016. There are no words to explain the build up to this project, even after being apart of the project back in 2012 and again in 2014. I woke up ready to go at 7am, and anxiously ran through my hand luggage double checking I had everything I needed before I needed to …
