SCHEDULE

WEEKLY SCHEDUlE

The schedule below will be our regular weekly schedule run for the duration of the program, excluding scheduled breaks and national holidays.

Mondays and Thurdays - New volunteers arrive (minimum time commitment - 1 week)

Monday to Saturday - Workdays

Sundays - Time off for rest

Currently, we are only able to receive volunteers once a week each Monday until 5:00 pm. Please make sure to plan your arrival accordingly. After you arrive on the program, you will receive a base tour, sign a code of conduct and take the rapid COVID-19 test. You will start working on the site in the afternoon or the next day. If you arrive very early on Monday and team will be able to send you to the site the same day.

DAILY SCHEDUlE

We will be starting our days early! Breakfast will be available from 6 am and we will be leaving for the site sharp at 7:00. The Philippines is very hot, so we will be starting work early. Lunch typically starts at 12 am and then the work will continue between 1 and 4 pm. We will also factor in some 10-15 minutes water breaks throughout the day to make sure everyone stays hydrated and gets some rest (because the work will be intense). Each day in the evening, we will have a meeting that everyone at the base has to attend, and after that, we’ll serve dinner. Every All Hands and Hearts base has a curfew and quiet hours & lights out in place to ensure we all get enough rest before the next working day. Please remember that they are non-negotiable and apply both to staff and volunteers. We are taking our work very seriously so we expect that you will understand and obey the rules to help us make this program a successful one!
