ABOUT THE PROJECT:

Founded through the 4 core principles, "HELP, EXPLORE, APPRECIATE, LOVE", our group on its 7th Anniversary will go to the Southernmost Province in the Philippines - the Tawi-Tawi Peninsula! Amidst all negative impressions given by the people who lives in the mainlands as they refer Tawi-Tawi as a terrorist spot or non-peace zone, ALL OF THOSE ACCUSATIONS ARE UNTRUE. Tawi-Tawi is 101% SAFE and its people is one of the kindest that we've ever met. With its serene environment, the province has a very diverse culture and their locals are the warmest and most welcoming!

This November, as we celebrate our 7th Year of existence in the Philippines, join us as we give back to the people of Tawi-Tawi... Let us give smile, share the love and hope to one another!
