Siargao Island, Philippines
March 11 - 18, 2019
Are you an animal lover? Are you interested in traveling whilst participating in authentic acts of selfless service?
Then, join our Island Dog and Cat Outreach Program in Siargao today!
Together, we will uplift the quality of life for street dogs, by providing a free spay/neuter and vaccination clinic for mistreated canines on the island.
100% of the proceeds from this experience are donated to support Kindred Connection's ongoing work in Siargao, Philippines. We are partnering with the local Filipino organization, PPBC Foundation, to make this project possible.
Not only will you be investing in a life-changing experience for yourself in a beautiful location; but you will also be giving back to animals in need, as well. Be a voice for the voiceless today.
