New Canadian member looking for volunteer project

Hello all members of Dumaguete Info! I am a new member from Canada who is planning to come and live in Dumaguete in October 2016. I am looking for a volunteer project in the area in the medical field. If you have any questions about my experience or any contacts, please let me know!

Thanks for your interest in volunteering for ICM. Please email us at volunteer@caremin.com a little bit about yourself so we can refer the best volunteer opportunity for you. ICM's operational headquarters is located in Manila and our main development office is in Hong Kong. But wherever you live you can still volunteer for ICM.

"We really enjoyed our time with ICM in Dumaguete working with the health team - the health clinics gave us an insight into medicine in the developing world with limited resources. We developed an asthma education programme for ICM to educate local communities on asthma self management. We feel very privileged to have been part of ICM, it is a fantastic organisation and the work they do is invaluable. Thank you for a wonderful experience."

LCP Current Situation
The following is a description of the Current Situation of LCP:

Twenty five years after its founding, Little Children of the Philippines, Inc. (LCP) now serves a constituency of more than 5,000 low-income Filipino children, youth and parents, in 14 depressed communities/barangays of the province of Negros Oriental. During the past eleven years the number of barangays served has increased from eight to fourteen, and the number of sponsored preschools from three to seven. The enrollment in Sunday School has increased from approximately 300 to nearly 2000. More than 650 children, ranging from age five to twenty, who are victims of poverty and vulnerable to abuse are sponsored by friends of Little Children of the World.

LCP has grown also in the number of international volunteers who add considerably to the work force. They come from various nations including the USA, Philippines, Canada, England, Ireland, Sweden, Italy, Germany, Japan, South Korea, Australia, and New Zealand. They use their training and experience to enhance the existing programs and sometimes even initiate new ones like the Lice Treatment Project and the Soup Kitchens. A number of Filipino professionals, especially physicians, provide service to LCP member families and LCP volunteers for no cost or at greatly reduced prices. The local Red Cross has been helpful in training LCP’s community paramedics. Peace Corps workers have also contributed time and resourses through the years.
