Here's the description of the Facebook photo album I posted a few months ago when my co-volunteers and I visited Northern Mindanao. Words are never enough to describe our affinity for that place, the bond that we have, and how we would always want to extend our lives to those who have touched ours.
UNICEF and other organizations were supporting the community at Upper Hinaplanon.

In 2007, ten Filipinos became Global
Xchange (GX) volunteers of Voluntary Service Overseas (VSO). While half
of our hearts belong to the UK, half of it strongly identify with
Cagayan de Oro (CDO) and Iligan City -- both ravaged by typhoon Sendong in
December 2011.
