Over het programma

By participating in this project, you will actively contribute to the conservation and restoration of Palawan’s mangrove plantations, which serve as crucial habitats for the region’s diverse marine life. These mangroves play a pivotal role in preserving the coastal ecosystem by acting as a natural barrier, effectively mitigating the impact of storm surges and preventing beach erosion. Additionally, your efforts will extend to planting mahogany and moringa tree seeds, fostering sustainable practices and supporting the local village’s environmental goals.

By engaging in this initiative, you will have the opportunity to make a positive impact on the ecosystem and the local community. Embrace the chance to immerse yourself in the beauty of Palawan’s coastal environment while working alongside passionate individuals committed to the conservation of these precious natural resources.

Immerse yourself in the captivating province of Palawan, situated in the Mimaropa region and renowned for its abundant wildlife sanctuaries, marine reserves, and world heritage sites. Palawan Island, known for its remarkable biodiversity, boasts some of the world’s most stunning seascapes, captivating the interest of locals in conservation efforts.

Dagelijkse activiteiten

Through this project, we aim to protect and conserve the diminishing mangrove plantations, which have experienced a rapid decline in recent years. Our approach focuses on educating younger generations and engaging in physical labor to restore and replant mangroves.

As a valuable participant, you will play a crucial role in fortifying our natural coastal barrier, mitigating storm surges, reducing beach erosion, and maintaining pristine shorelines. Additionally, we need your assistance in fostering environmental conservation by conducting training sessions with children, instilling a sense of responsibility towards our precious natural resources.

For the tree planting component of our program, we have carefully selected Moringa and Mahogany seeds due to their numerous benefits, local availability, and suitability for growth in the area.

Mahogany, renowned worldwide for its beauty, strength, and durability, also possesses medicinal properties in its seeds. Rich in saponins and flavonoids, these seeds have the potential to treat fevers, lower bad cholesterol, and improve blood circulation.

Moringa, often referred to as the “miracle tree” or horseradish tree, is a superfood known for its exceptional health benefits. Its pods, leaves, seeds, and roots are all edible. Local villagers treasure Moringa for its traditional remedies, utilizing its seeds or leaves for the prevention and treatment of various ailments. It is also a versatile ingredient in local cuisine, perfectly complementing fish and meat dishes.

This program is an ideal fit for individuals with good physical fitness, enthusiasm, and a deep passion for making a positive impact on the environment and the local community.

Please note that certain tasks in the mangroves may be affected by changes in the tide and water levels. In such cases, your coordinator will guide you towards alternative activities during those times.

Afhaal aan de luchthaven op Puerto Princesa International Airport

We'll pick you up at the airport!

Accomodatie

This center houses all participants in their programs around Palawan. It is built with many natural elements and has a tropical beach look to them! You’ll be sleeping on bunk beds and we have limited laundry facilities, so expect to wash your clothes by hand, unless you’d like to use the laundry service here for a small fee.

Due to our tropical setting, WiFi  service may not be what you are used to at home. It is limited and sometimes inaccessible due to weather, so having your own local SIM card and purchasing data through the GLOBE network may be your best option for staying connected consistently while you are in our local village. Please be advised that due to jellyfish in the water, it is unlikely that you will be able to swim at the beach close by the accommodation. There is an area near the river or on the other side of the village, which is about a 15 minute walk away, where you will be able to enjoy some time in the water.


Eten & Drank

Three meals are provided every day of the program scheduled at 8:00 a.m..for Breakfast, 12:00pm for Lunch and 6:00 pm for Dinner and on weekends only brunch and dinner. Food will be mainly of typical local and western dishes. Since we are in Asia, rice is a staple. We serve rice but not everyday.We also serve pasta, noodles, sea foods, most of the time chicken and pork, vegetables and fruits. For breakfast, we may have eggs, sausages, oatmeal, bread, pancakes, coffee and tea. However, meals will also be served based on your dietary requirements.

In addition, food arrangement varies based on your program. Typically, Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner will usually serve at the Accommodation Center, however, for participants having outdoor activities or placement will have packed lunch or take lunch at the local restaurants or at the Filipino Authentic Restaurants nearby. Finally, you are free to relax and explore the local area and local dishes during your spare time or on the weekends but at your own cost and expense.

Who we are

Global Nomadic empowers positive change by connecting people with projects

Global Nomadic was founded in 2008 with one clear goal – to empower change by connecting people. We believe real change can only come about when people are able to find the right opportunities with the right organisations. Over the past years, we have grown to offer high-quality international internships in a wide range of professional fields, but our aim is still the same; connecting people with projects.

We provide aspiring young professionals with exactly what is needed to set them apart in the very competitive world we live in. We exist to help you further your career through educational international work experience placements, but also to help NGOs around the world carry out their community-building work, by connecting them with you. By working with local NGOs, charities, and communities you will gain excellent experience and valuable skills, aiding you to further your ambitions – whilst making a difference where it’s needed most.

This world is not a perfect place – and we don’t claim to be able to fix it. But what we can do is provide a bridge between you and the people who can. Our mission is to work towards a better and more stable world by connecting people with projects. We believe we work better together than apart. We believe travel and exposure to other cultures, beliefs and ways of life are the best ways to achieve this. We believe you can travel the world and travel your career.

What we do

We provide access to vetted, worthwhile international internships in a wide range of professional fields.

We work in a range of different fields from veterinary medicine and environmental conservation to journalism, public health, business development and education – matching you with reputable, worthwhile organisations around the world. Unlike many other volunteer organisations, we have personally visited and vetted our project partners, to ensure you a safe and worthwhile international experience.

We also choose to only work with partners whose projects contribute to their local community in a sustainable manner. We do not support, nor advocate orphanage tourism or irresponsible wildlife conservation projects. Our aim is to help our project partners focus on their core work by offering an easy way to find committed interns and volunteers to support their daily activities.

Our volunteers

Global Nomadic is a trusted community meeting space connecting people with NGO projects around the world.

We also offer helping you to source and organise the best flights, insurance, visas and all the many other things you will need before you reach your project destinations, including country guides, packing lists and much more! We want to make sure that you have the volunteering time of your life.

Global Nomadic personally visits all volunteer sites to ensure a quality experience for volunteers. You will receive support before, during and after your placement.
