Our volunteer expeditions

It has been a long time coming, but we are very pleased to finally announce that we are restarting our volunteer operations in the Philippines.

As challenging as they have been, the last two years have also proved to be an exciting time with the establishment of a new operational site on the provincial island of Higatangan.

What will I do on an expedition?
