i'm setting off on an adventure in the philippines. these are just some of the pieces of my mind as I try to make a difference and try to find some peace of mind as a peace corps volunteer. i'll be learning waray waray and teaching english and trying my best to just fit in and at the same time make an impact.

tudlo mindanao
May 10
In April I had the amazing opportunity to help out with an English language camp Peace Corps does called Tudlo Mindanao.
I feel so blessed to have had the experience, and here I'll put some highlights. You can email me if you want more details.
-For most of the participants it was their first real seminar and they were so overjoyed to be a part of it. They came from such humble places in Mindanao and I think it meant a lot for them to have this opportunity.
-The camp had an English only policy. At first participants were so quite but you could see their comfort levels increase and more English come out.
-I was doing ICT and the excitement these teachers had with just being able to actually touch a computer was incredible. Very fun.
-The camp wrapped up with a cultural show. The facilitators were taught some traditional dances that we performed in front of everybody. Then we also got to watch all the different regions perform for us.
This experience was for sure a high light of my time here.
