Although the group identifies itself with Christianity, the door is open to volunteers of any religious affiliation. We will likely be working in various capacities including teaching English, providing preventative health care in community clinics, housebuilding and developing an afternoon sports program. LCP was appealing to us for various reasons. Participation time is flexible. There isn't a set period of time in which to volunteer.
People are welcome whenever they can come, and for the amount of time that fits their schedule.
LCP is located in the city of Dumaguete on Negros Island, about 400km southeast of Manila. LCP also provides a dormitory-style room in a house where volunteers reside. Volunteers pay for their own transportation to and from the Philippines. Most importantly, it appears from the basic mailings we've received that LCP doesn't waste resources on flashy brochures. Rather they seem to focus on the needs of homeless children.
