Report This trip was a wonderful opportunity to get a glimpse of life in the Philippines and be immersed in the culture, if only for such a short time. The small community of Bahile was very warm and welcoming and the swarms of children were always waiting to greet us and play with us each day - so adorable!

We spent 5 days at the village and during our time there we worked on 4 different basic concrete block homes. We helped by making bricks, carrying bricks, brick laying, shoveling, making cement, pounding the foundations, digging holes and more. HFH aim to build is 400 in total for families in need. We were also blessed to have the opportunity to have a one-night homestay with some of the local families on the last night. I think this was definitely one of the highlights of the trip. Good food and company and a small insight into the simple lives they lead.

The last two days of the trip was the rest and recreation part. The first day we all went to the underground cave in a boat and then spent a relaxing afternoon at the gorgeous beach! The second day we broke up in groups with some of us shopping and roaming the city, island hopping and swimming with the whale sharks - amazing!
We stayed at a very comfortable hotel called The Bran Pension Hotel which was reasonably priced, clean and spacious and had good meals.

Here is a comment sent through from one of the team members on the trip:
"I had high expectations for my Habitat trip to the Philippines, and they were surpassed! I couldn't have asked for a better experience -- working on a house with new friends, playing with adorable children, eating fantastic food and enjoying myself in the tropical paradise atmosphere. It's a week that I'll remember for the rest of my life, and I treasure the memories!"

Thank God for this wonderful opportunity and His unconditional love and blessings! May He continue to work in the hearts of all those we met and HFH worldwide.
