I have just returned from spending 6 months in the Philippines. There, I kept a blog, which can easily be viewed at: http://blog.travelpod.com/travel-blog/saharandreams/2/tpod.html

I will be returning to the Philippines in December again, to continue on the work, and am keen to meet up with any other potentially interested volunteers. The Kids Worldwide centre, located in Blissful Family Village, is an amazing place! The people are so inspired, friendly and interested in deepening spiritual connections with one another, as well as through yoga and meditation practices. This is all "earthed" in the community land project and trying to uplift and serve the local people in the area through co-operatives and the act of making a living through spreading the ideas of vegetarian diet etc.

The Kids Worldwide centre, which is where I have been mainly engaged -  is focusing on trying to create an area for youth to meet, be creative and in the future to get involved in environmental and outdoor activities. We have many musical instruments and the centre is becoming a hub for young energy and artistic creation. Our next idea is to create an adventure playground and activities to involve the children from the local orphanages and to engage and inspire them during thier holidays.  Come and help us out! We would love to see you there!
