Philippines - Mission Trip to Philippines

Trip Details:

Sender:	Global Expeditions
Title:	Philippines
Description:	In the Philippines there’s a garbage dump where each day kids search for food in the trash before burning it to make coal. This is an area of EXTREME poverty where clothes are stained and torn, and the kids who wear them are dirty and thin. Hundreds of kids here are growing up in the middle of waste, rubbish and debris. This summer you can reach families living in the worst conditions by leading “Sunday School” style programs in the middle of it all! With skits, games, and song time you’ll bring Jesus to the poor! Take a day and help host a Medical Clinic where you’ll assist in with the lines and organize games and events as people wait their turn to be seen by the doctor! WARNING: This project will come face to face with shocking poverty. Some children in the garbage dump are naked, because they have no clothes. If you are looking for ‘regular’ children’s outreach, we recommend Zambia, Romania, or Panama. DO NOT apply for this trip if you are not ready to hug and play with children who will be very dirty. http://www.globalexpeditions.com/mission-trips/summer-trips/asia/philippines/
