Premed students, doctors, nurses, or volunteers with experience working in the health industry, are all needed to assist with the daily activities in the local community health center.

Highlights: The Philippines has been described as one of the world's best-kept secrets: this nation of 7,000 tropical islands offers pristine white beaches, turquoise waters, ancient rice terraces, virgin rainforests, volcanoes and some of the friendliest people in Asia.
