Volunteer Programs in the Philippines – by Ka Edong, the Purposeful Penguin
May 6th, 2009 | by ka edong |I received a huge amount of web traffic from my “Ako Mismo” article on Technobiography.com .
I relate closely to the campaign because I am a volunteer myself. I strongly believe that individual contributions build up to something big in nation-building.
I spent a year in Cuyo Palawan as a volunteer teacher, was an elections-volunteer for NAMFREL in at least three elections and I continue to volunteer in PSI as a speaker.
Here’s taking another step forward and providing information to my readers about how else we can contribute in nation-building.
- www.OneTama.com – Excellent website to get ideas on how you can contribute on an individual level
- Rock Ed Philippines – “No More Excuses, Philippines!”
- Gawad Kalinga
- Habitat for Humanity Philippines
- DOH Blood Bank Program
- Red Cross
- National Youth Commission
- NAMFREL
- World Vision Philippines
- WWF-Philippines
- Haribon Foundation
- Jesuit Volunteers Philippines
- UN Volunteers
- Center for Volunteerism in the Philippines
- Volunteer in the Philippines
- VSO Bahaginan
- Voice of the Youth Network (coming soon)
More to come.

Ayos ‘to at tamang pagkakataon para AKO MISMO ang magtuturo sa mga anak ko ng mga magagandang katangian ng isang Pilipino bilang masipag,magalang at higit sa lahat ang pagbibigay halaga sa mga magagandang pagkakataon na dumadating sa bawat sandali ng kanilang buhay sapagkat naniniwala ako na ang kaunlaran ng bawat Pilipino ay kaunlaran ng ating bansang Pilipinas. Kaya AKO MISMO!!!
