Report The worksaite was a mountainous village of Gitgit in northern Bali. The weather was breezy and overcast most days. The site was not graded, so we spent the first 3 days digging out the foundation for the house. Digging continued on a smaller scale for all 5 workdays. On day 4 we began to lay bricks and concrete. We did not have time to cmplete the house, The family was helpful and contributed coffee or pastries each day. R & R was good, The students did water sports, and visited an orphanage, Our rushed and toured experience at the orphanage maintained a distance between our team and the children living there. Accomodations were very nice, and some dinners were great. Overall, the team did experience a rewarding volunteer activity of helping to build a house for a family in need.

Philippines: TUC SH Youth (Tokyo Union Church)

Team Name TUC SH Youth (Tokyo Union Church)
Country Philippines, Calauan, Laguna
Work site Bayani Juan sa Calauan. One story steel-framed houses
Itinerary 9 Day(s) 12-Jun 2010(SAT) ? 20-Jun 2010(SUN)
Member Total: 12 Adult(M): 1 , Adult(F): 1, High School(M): 5, High School(F): 5
Expense Traveling:58000 JPY（taxes included）/person
In-country:4000 JPY（taxes included）/person/day
Route Tokyo-->Manila (PAL)
Manila-->Tokyo (PAL)
Report Every morning, from the City of Spiring Hotel, we jumped on a jeepny to go to our worksite: BayaniJuan sa Calauan breathing in the air of Calauan and seeing the life of people on the street with our own eyes. At the work site, we worked with home partners and local Habitat workers. They supported us so much and we became good friends working very well together laughing and singing while sweating in the heat. We made bricks, assembled long lines to pass them, grouted them with cement, and did other bits and pieces of small tasks. On the second day of work, we visited a Habitat community nearby to the completed houses. We enjoyed playing basketball and spending time with the children there, which motivated us to work better for the following days. It was fulfilling to see the houses became taller and soon livable by the time we said good bye to the site. The Habitat staff (who also took us to wonderful Pilipino restaurants after long days of work), home partners, and workers gave us a big farewell, which we all enjoyed very much. At the very end of our stay in Calauan, we went to the International Rice Research Institute and the Museum of Natural History in the University of the Philippines. One of the greatest experience we had throughout the trip was to be able to work directly with the home partners and the local workers everyday and be inspired by their hard work and warm hospitality!

Mongolia: Seisen Phoenix (Seisen International School)

Team name Seisen Phoenix (Seisen International School)
Country Baganuur, Mongolia
Work site Baganuur
1 families, small (one room), wooden frame structure with brick finish
Itinerary 10 Day(s) 07-Jun 2010(Mon) ? 16-Jun 2010(Wed)
Member Total: 31 Adult(M): 2, Adult(F): 3, High School(M): 1, High School(F): 25
Expense Traveling:100,000 JPY (taxes included) / person
In-country: 4,000-4,500 JPY (taxes included) / person / day
Route Narita-->Ulaanbaatar (Miat Mongolian)
Ulaanbaatar-->Narita (Miat Mongolian)
Report ▼We worked for five days (June 9-13) on a worksite in Baganuur about three hours by bus from Ulaanbaatar in Mongolia. The first two days we only worked in the morning due to rain in the afternoons, but we were able to unload all the wood and bricks for the house on the first day.▼On Day 2, we did a lot of wood work and constructed the four walls.▼Day 3 saw us raising the four walls for this single family dwelling and begin work on the roof.▼Day 4 we worked on insulating the walls with styrofoam as well as fiberglass and we continued work on the roof.▼On Day 5, our final day, we finished the woodwork on the roof and begun brick-laying. At the end of Day 5, we had a small celebration with the family and local workmen. The local accomodations in Baganuur were good and I would recommend them to any future team. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. We ate all our meals in the hotel dining hall and the food was good, though there was very little variety. Local R and R involved visiting a national park with a variety of 13th century Mongolian camps and an overnight stay in a ger, a typical Mongolian home. This was a good way to end our trip and a great opportunity to learn about Mongolian culture and history.

Philippines: Class of 2010 (Hokkaido Intl. School)

Team name Class of 2010 (Hokkaido International School)
Country Philippines
Work site Calauan, Laguna, 50 Families, interlocking block construction / row houses
Itinerary 8 Day(s), 02-Jun 2010 (WED) - 09-Jun 2010 (WED)
Member Total: 14 Adult(M): 1, Adult(F): 1, High School(M): 3, High School(F):
Expense Traveling: 82,000 JPY (taxes included) / person
In-country: 5,000 JPY (taxes included) / person / day
Route Chitose ⇔ Incheon (Korean Airlines)
Inchoen ⇔ Manila (Korean Airlines)
Report ▼We had a wonderful experience in the Philippines at the Calauan site. We were able to work onsite for part or all of four days and go to experience all of the jobs connected to the construction of the interlocking block homes. We enjoyed getting to know home partners who had directly benefited from the efforts of Habitat by receiving their own home. We also greatly enjoyed getting to know the construction workers who we worked with. They were receptive, very helpful and friendly towards us.▼I believe that one of the things that could have improved our experience would have been to share more space with the local workers onsite. At breaks we spent out time under a separate shelter that was apart from the workers rest location. Although we were free to go back and forth, it made it hard to get to know them and to communicate effectively from the start. I also understand that problems could occur if proximity was too close but sometimes I felt the "divide" was too clear.▼Our R&R visit to a beach in the province of Batangas was wonderful. We enjoyed the natural beauty of the Philippines and were truly able to relax. We also had another short afternoon trip to the IRRI (International Rice Research Institute), which was very informative and impacting. I would recommend that others go to this institute if they are in the Calauan area.▼The acommodations on the first night, Makati Towers, was a little bit of a concern. They were not necessarily clean or pleasant as they were located in a seedy part of the downtown core. The beds were hard, the linens smelled of smoke and in general we did not sleep well. The hotel during the rest of the stay, Splash Mountain Hotel (part of Splash Mountain Resort) in Los Banos Municipality, was a wonderful location. We had a great stay and because of the size of the resort and the level of security, safety was never an issue.▼Hokkaido International school has had a 10 year relationship with Habitat. We continue to be supportive of the Habitat trip and believe it to be a worthwhile experience for our students. It helps us to directly cap off our curricular goals as a globally-minded institution.
