<div>My name is Jessica. I am a secondary school teacher in Dublin. This summer I will travel to Cebu in The Philippines for 4 weeks to volunteer with SERVE and work with the Badjao Tribe.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Badjao Tribe are a marginalised community in South East Asia. They are a nomadic, sea-faring community. SERVE’s work with the Badjao tribe is focused on supporting educational initiatives, improving housing and access to healthcare.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The work I will be doing in Cebu will involve working with young people to help support educational initiatives within the community in areas such as English, health &amp; wellbeing. We will also run arts &amp; crafts, drama and music workshops.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As a teacher I am passionate about the potential of young people. As clichéd as it sounds, I want to make a difference in the lives of young people who do not have the same opportunities as we do in Ireland! I hope that my work with the Badjao community might make some small difference.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A little bit about SERVE….
</div>
<div>SERVE is a development and volunteering organisation committed to providing equal opportunities for poor communities living in Southern Africa, South-East Asia, and South America.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Inspired by the belief that ‘Solidarity In Action’ can improve the lives of the most vulnerable, SERVE works in partnership with local communities and organisations to offer high-quality vocational and educational learning opportunities, helping young people gain employment or start and develop their businesses.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Since 2003, SERVE has placed over 1,200 volunteers on overseas assignments and contributed over €20 million to development projects.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your support means so much! Even by sharing this story it may inspire others to show kindness, take action and ‘SERVE in Solidarity’.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>All monies raised will go to SERVE (Charity No CHY 18154) towards the cost of the project (flights to The Philippines, accommodation &amp; pre-departure training) resources and initiatives for development within the community.
