Volunteer this year!

This year, we will start with a new project - the BOARDING HOUSE for the island kids.

A 500sqm lot has been committed by the Integrated School of Sulangan that can be used for this purpose.

The tasks this year are the following:

• Baseline Study
• Social Acceptability Study
• Designing and building of the Boarding House

If you are interested to volunteer, please email me.

Looking forward to working with you!

Exploring the World with HIP

I would like to take, again, this opportunity to THANK all the volunteers and supporters who made HIP a success.  The volunteers are the main reason how HIP managed and continue to deliver all its commitments to the communities it works with.

I was interviewed by Lola Abrera of Hostelfy.me for their Explorer of the World Q&A Series.  Read on the full interview: Explorer of the World Q&A Series – Kakay Oloroso and I AM HIP.

The Philippine Islands will always be one of my homes and the communities, my family!

Under the same sun

Sun Help International e.V. has installed two (2) PV Systems on the islets.  The main objective is to give the  kids a chance to work on their school work in a well lighted library --- even during the night! 

There is now light in the library!

This collaboration and cooperation is another success and a good example that even the islets are about more than 10,000 kilometers away from Germany people find ways to support.

I want to thank the Barth Brothers for linking the islets to Sun Help!  The Barths have done a lot to help Yolanda affected communities in the Philippines.  Daghang salamat for the continuing support!

And to Sun Help International e.V., daghan kaayong salamat for bringing light!  Thanks for contributing to the brighter future of these kids and youth on the islets!  I'm looking forward to more cooperation and collaboration with you in the near future!

Here is the photo of the article in the Koelnische Rundschau.  I will try to find the online version that you can try to read and translate it in your preferred language.

Thanks, Jen Mallmann for the update!
