Algo increíble que he hecho

The experience

Volunteering, it wasn't just an overnight contingent occurrences. The ardentness I have in my heart to reach out to the community has always been there. I admire people who get out there and just help, so why not be one of them and do it all while I still can. Don't get me wrong it is just not thru volunteering that you will be able to help, I think it's a lifestyle and I think it should be.

It was thru Laura that I knew about this incredible All Hands Volunteers. Right after the non-profit organisation accepted both of us, she booked her ticket on the next morning and we shopped for our personal construction gears. We stayed in Bohol for ten days but unfortunately worked only for seven days with hard physical labor. Roosters usually woke us up everyday at 6am and as always I am excited to get my hot cup of coffee and a slice of bread with a local peanut butter spread in the mornings. Mondays, by the way, are extra special because our own lovely project director Katie makes pancakes for breakfast.

Having to work with people around the world with huge hearts was ridiculously amazing. Even with all these differences, it was easy to make friends because we all have the same goal, to help. As one of the volunteers said “we will all be friends for life” which for me is possibly true. Again, I want to express gratitude on behalf of the locals to all of my fellow volunteers who were working their cocos off and to the ones who are about to start it. Filipinos will forever thank you for touching their lives, our lives. Thank you.

During working hours lovely residents in Antequera Bohol specifically also helped us out and were endlessly feeding us with boiled bananas and coconut water. Their overly gratefulness and friendliness always made most of our days. In the end of the day, we were all always excited for the next working hours, well, aside from a nice shower and a good meal with other awesome volunteers, these 3 playful doggies were always there to greet you namely Sakura, Yolanda and Eyebrows, the fireflies who were always showing off their glow with a spectacular background of the night sky and because there was a little light pollution in that area so starfilled heavens always took my breath away.

If you find yourself with a busy schedule and won’t be able to find some time in volunteering, I still will recommend you to do it now or really soon. Any help you can do is never small, so please check http://hands.org/ to make a difference. As the famous lyrics goes “If you wanna make the world a better place, take a look at yourself and then make a change…”
