Sobre o programa

Overview
Help to teach and provide support to the local teacher at a special needs school in Tacloban City. The students, aged 5-12, have either physical, mental, or developmental disabilities. The need for the school can help the children to learn in a more appropriate environment as they often get frustrated in a standard school.

The aim is to work alongside the local teacher and help to ease the load for them, as well as helping to help mentor the children. Usually, a maximum of 10 pupils is recommended for a special needs school, however in reality due to the lack of specialist schools, classroom sizes are often larger than this.

For this reason, classes are divided into morning and afternoon sessions, each session only having a few pupils. There are also some pupils who require a one-on-one mentoring. The school is open from 8am-4pm, with a 1-hour break for lunch at 12pm. Volunteers are required to work from 8am-12pm (4 hours) and can stay on for the afternoon session if desired.

Children are divided into 6 classes:
  • Multiple disabilities. This class teaches children with more than one disability.
  • Intellectual disability. Included in this class are children with Down Syndrome.
  • Autism.
  • Hearing Impairment
  • Learning disability/visual impairment. Among the children in this class are those who have difficulty in writing, reading, and recognizing numbers.
  • Transition (prevocational). It is a class of children who “passed” from the above 5 classes.

Volunteers under the Special Education Project must be skilled and experienced in working with children with special needs. This project can be challenging due to the complexity of the students, although extremely rewarding. We ask that volunteers go with the flow, as needs can change at any time. A great attitude, flexibility and understanding will go a long way.

Location
Tacloban is approximately 360 miles from Manila. It's the capital of the Province of Leyte and has a population of 275,000 people. The city offers international volunteers an opportunity to be immersed in a unique Asian culture, which is at least partially left untouched by Western Culture, especially in the rural areas. In November 2013, Tacloban was one of the most devastated areas of the Philippines when Super Typhoon Yolanda (Hayian) ravaged through the Philippines; therefore, the city and surrounding areas now present an even greater range of opportunities for international volunteers. Tacloban is easily accessible by air from Manila or Cebu through daily flights offered by Philippines Airlines, Cebu Pacific, and Zest Air.

Dia típico

Working hours are generally 8am to 12pm. You are welcome to stay until 4pm if desired.

Recepção no aeroporto em D. Z. Romualdez Airport

Programs begin every Monday, and volunteers are required to arrive the day prior, for orientation before the project. Your accommodation on the Sunday is included in the program fees.

A free airport pickup is included when arriving to Tacloban airport before 6pm on the Sunday before your project.

You will use public transportation to and from your project (a degree of patience is sometimes required for this!). Jeepneys, multicabs, and tricycles normally stop often along the route to pick up or drop off passengers.

The commute to the school should not take more than 40 minutes but there is no specific schedule for a jeepney’s trip. Jeepneys just come along anytime, hence a time should be allotted in waiting for them.

The daily commute requires a multicab from Bliss to Palo J&F, which costs Php 15.00. From J&F take a tricycle going to Palo market, costing Php 15.00. From the market, it is a short distance to the school, which can be easily reached by foot.

On the way back, just walk to the main road, catch a jeepney heading to Robinson’s Marasbaras terminal. This trip costs Php 20.00. Then from the terminal, catch a multicab or e-jeep back to the volunteer centre. This trips costs between Php 12-14.

Volunteers will be briefed on getting to placement and back to Tacloban during the orientation at the beginning of the program.

Alojamento

At the core of your experience is the friendly and warm accommodating local home stay, who have been accepting volunteers for over a decade. Life inside a homestay is not only safe and cost effective, but is also a great way to contribute to the local economy and to experience the true nature and culture of the Philippines. All homestays have electricity and running water.

You will have a private room by yourself or shared with a fellow volunteer. Mosquito net, electric fan, bed linens and door lock are also provided. The bathroom will be shared with the family and will be basic with cold, bucket baths (hot running showers are uncommon in Philippines) as it’s so tropical and warm! All home stays are English speaking. The home stays have been thoroughly evaluated before being accepted into the program and have been in operation for several years. You will be able to experience the Filipino culture and participate in the daily life of a local.

Alimentos e Bebidas

Breakfast and dinner are provided but volunteers will need to buy their own lunch which costs approx. 50-80 pesos. Access to filtered drinking water will also be provided by your home stay. All meals will be served with rice and typically include fish, chicken or pork. Home stays can cater for special dietary restrictions, however we require advance notice so we can place you accordingly.

Sobre o projecto

IVI are a non profit org with 28 years experience providing responsible volunteer placements in 15 countries worldwide. We help you connect with inspiring opportunities

Conheça seu anfitrião

Involvement Volunteers International delivers positive social change to developing communities and vulnerable populations through local, national & international volunteering.  Our projects empower the skilled & un-skilled to catalyse the efforts of local partners in creating a better world.


WHO WE ARE

Founded in 1989, IVI is a pioneer of overseas volunteering.  Back when there was no internet and phones were a luxury in many parts of the world, we traveled to developing countries in search of credible NGO's in need of manpower and global volunteer resources.  Some of the many relationships we forged are utilized to this day. 

We are passionate about volunteering and giving back to society and in particular developing communities which are less fortunate than us.  In this way, we combine travelling with volunteering to help people make a positive impact overseas.

SOCIAL EXPERIENCES
All of IVI’s projects have a strong social element at the core.  With more manpower (& womanpower!) we can truly catalyse the efforts of our local partners.  This means you're sure to meet loads of like-minded people from all parts of the world.   This type of experience truly broadens your understanding of the world and yourself, opening your heart to new enlightened ways of thinking .   With your new found travel companions, you'll have plenty of opportunity to explore and have fun!  

Our projects create a unique platform to experience the true heart and soul of a destination rather than simply the tourist areas.   We'll involve you in meaningful & responsible volunteer work that really benefits the local communities.

AFFORDABLE VOLUNTEER TRAVEL
As a non profit org, we are not motivated by shareholder profits.  Our fee structure is fully transparent to ensure volunteers hard earned money is going directly to the areas where it is most needed.  It is vitally important to us that the presence of volunteers has a positive and sustainable impact on the local communities we work with.   

We charge a one off US$275 application fee per volunteer to cover the running of IVI including administration overheads, project inspection costs, marketing, and salaries.

The program fee starts at $150 p/week and goes straight to the in country management to cover arrival airport transfers, on the ground coordination, orientation, accommodation, meals, in country 24/7 project support, project development, donations and related administration costs.   

In comparison to many of our competitors, our programs are incredible value.

SAFETY & RESPONSIBLE PROGRAMS
With approx 80-90% of our volunteers being single young female travelers, volunteer safety is of the utmost importance.  All of our projects include a dedicated 24/7 in-country management support contact as well as a dedicated placement manager pre/post journey.  This ensures you will be cared for every step of the way.    The local teams are highly experienced and qualified to manage emergency situations.

All IVI projects have been personally inspected to ensure the standards meet necessary guidelines for quality and safety.  In addition, we monitor and maintain communication with local embassies to oversee potential issues in order to notify volunteers and their families accordingly.   

Our Australian team are available 24/7 and only a phone call away.

Our responsibility also extends to the local people which is why volunteers working in childcare related fields must provide a criminal background check before they travel.   Our ultimate goal is the long term development of the communities we work with, hence we work closely with our local partners to ensure that projects are needs driven and sustainable. 

SUPPORT

From your very first inquiry, right through to your welcome home, you'll have the same dedicated volunteer manager at every stage.  We are experts in the field and will provide you in depth insights about what to expect and how to prepare to ensure you have an amazing experience overseas.  Every project includes a detailed welcome pack which provides all aspects needed such as in country contacts, what to pack, cultural values, basic language guides and much much more.   

On arrival at your destination, you'll be greeted by one of our in-country team and in many cases 1 week orientation is provided to help ease you into the way of life and ensure you're equipped with the right customs to ensure a successful volunteer abroad experience.  

FUN!
Volunteering abroad is quite possibly the most rewarding experience you will have in your life!   We know this not only through our own experiences, but through the testimonies from thousands of volunteers we have successfully placed worldwide over 27+ years in operation.  Volunteering overseas is not only rewarding.   It's fun!   You're meeting new people, you're seeing new sights, and you're expanding your understanding of yourself and the world.  You're experiencing something real and life changing in many ways...
