Philippines

The Philippines is made up of over 7000 islands with only 460 of them larger than 1 square mile in size. The geography of the area is fascinating, the islands being made up of a partly submerged mountain mass making the landscape dramatic.

The SoapBox Team will be working to support the life changing activities of the Philippine Outreach Centre Ministries, (POCM) led by Chrissy and Dondie Perillo. She and her husband started a work in Subic Bay on Luzon Island. Their work now extends across the Philippines, working in orphanages, schools, church plants, disabled centres and prison outreach. More information can be found on their website: www.poc-min.co.uk

The Soapbox team will be assisting in the building of one of the centres for disabled young people, some maintenance work in the boys and girls homes and orphanage. There will also be an opportunity to visit some of the prisons to assist in meetings. The team will also have an opportunity to visit some of the wonderful sights in this fascinating country. A short video of the project is available here: Philippines Video
