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.
