About AIESEC

For the past 60 years AIESEC has been activating youth leadership around the world. And it all started with an original idea right after the World War II in our quest to utilize the energy of the youth to create a positive impact in our society. The belief in this idea was carried forward, developed, and strengthened. Today, 64 years later, AIESEC can be described as the 2nd largest network in the world next to the United Nations and the strongest university-based network of young people and the world largest student-run organization with more than 1,000,000 alumni, 60,000 current members, based on 111 countries, present in 1,700 universities, with 10,000 leadership positions and almost 16,000 international exchanges per year.

About AIESEC Davao In the Philippines, we now have ten AIESEC universities. Some of AIESEC Philippinesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s national partners are Shell, Smart Communications, Proctor and Gamble, Haribon Foundation, Ayala Land Corporation, Standard Chartered Bank and many more. AIESEC in Davao (based in Ateneo de Davao University) is the only AIESEC entity in Mindanao. We were established 42 years ago with a strong leadership pipeline which makes as one of the top performing student organization in the university. From top 500+ in 2008 and Top 81 in 2009, in 2010, AIESEC in Davao was ranked one of Top 10 most outstanding AIESEC universities in the whole of AIESEC International. We were no. 1 in South East Asia, after being behind UP Diliman, Ateneo De Manila and De La Salle universities for more than 40 years. The members of AIESEC Davao, are offsprings of the marriage of Ateneo and AIESEC. On one side, Ateneo teaches us to excel, on the other side AIESEC teaches how to be globalâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and so there is only one result; excel globally. Global excellence, of which is to create a bigger positive impact in the society.

Trainee Nominees (TN) Projects Based-on Exchange (PBoX)

This will be constantly updated every time new opportunities open from our TNs and projects. As of the moment, our partners only provide GCDP internships. For Summer 2012, we have 4 TNs to choose for an internship. Each of these internships will be discussed bit by bit in the coming pages.

Internship in Davao The Philippine Eagle Foundation

The Philippine Eagle Foundation is a private, non-stock, non-profit organization dedicated to saving the endangered Philippine Eagle (Pithecophagajefferyi) and its rainforest habitat. Organized in 1987, it had before that time been operating as a project undertaking research, rehabilitation, and captive breeding. Staffed by highly trained and dedicated personnel, it has today evolved into the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s premiere organization for the conservation of raptors.

our mission The Philippine Eagle Foundation firmly believes that the fate of our vanishing Philippine Eagle, the health of our environment, and the quality of Philippine life are inextricably linked. We are therefore committed to promote the survival of the Philippine Eagle, the biodiversity it represents, and the sustainable use of our forest resources for future generations to enjoy.

Internship in Davao The Philippine Eagle Foundation

There is no action-oriented organization in the country focused on saving the Philippine Eagle and its habitat other than the Philippine Eagle Foundation (PEF). The Philippine Eagle is ecologically important to people and yet vulnerable to human activities. Conservation of the Philippine Eagle contributes to sustainable development and improves the quality of human life by maintaining biological diversity and environmental health. The PEF's work helps develop public understanding of wildlife and natural resources issues thereby generating grassroots support for national policy decisions. The PEF's holistic approach to wildlife management presents a model for replication in the international arena. The PEF facilitates participation by individuals, corporations, non-government organizations, schools and communities through its unique conservation initiatives. The Philippine Eagle is an important natural and cultural heritage. It is a powerful symbol by which our people can rally around for the conservation of our natural resources.

Internship in Davao Institute For Socio-economic Development Initiatives The Institute for Socio-Economic Development Initiatives (ISFI) (formerly, Institute for Small Farms and Industries) envisions empowered communities and sustainable organizations by nurturing men and women to reach their full potentials and maximize their resources; are committed to serve God and the country, and are willing to become agents of change. Almost three decades – that’s how long we are in this development business – working with vulnerable communities: the upland farmers, subsistence fisher folks, indigenous people, urban poor, micro-entrepreneurs, and yes, even the most economically challenged local government units (LGUs). ISFI focus on those things that matter most. EMPOWERING people and their organizations so they can work together better. DEVELOPING entrepreneurs so they can be their own boss, create employment and value to our local raw resources. STRENGTHENING the capacities of LGUs so they can formulate more appropriate policies and make positive impact on their constituency. GENERATING information through research and project monitoring and evaluation so development organizations and private corporations have solid basis for their interventions.

Internship in Davao Institute For Socio-economic Development Initiatives

history

The Institute for Small Farms and Industries (ISFI) is an outreach arm of the Ateneo de Davao University, one of Mindanao’s premier educational institutions. ISFI was organized in 1981 through a grant from the Belgian Government and the University of Louvain through the Association of Catholic Universities of the Philippines, initially to form self-reliant communities among the urban and rural people in Mindanao. After the successful run of its first project on social credit extended to women in one coastal community in Davao City, the Institute has developed a distinct project approach called “environmentally sustainable enterprise organizing”, embracing people’s organizations and empowering them to establish income-generating and environment-friendly livelihood projects. Soon, the Institute has expanded to other provinces in Davao Region, Northern Mindanao and Cotabato. Marking 2008 as its 27th year of existence, the Institute’s work is more associated with capacitating communities and groups of people marginalized by education, distance (such as in upland and remote places), ethnicity, gender, age, religion and lack of economic opportunities. ISFI practices the principles of participation and shared responsibility, taking great care in involving the beneficiaries and other stakeholders in every major decision. While ISFI maintains a lean core staff, it has developed its own network of experts, with as many as forty individuals, who can be tapped to undertake specialized technical engagements. It also draws support from the University for its Administrative Requirements and in return, provides opportunity for graduating students to get their first practical exposure in development work.

Internship in Davao R.A.I.N. for Kids R.A.I.N. for Kids is a two-part advocacy project for children that aims to generate awareness and address challenges encountered by less fortunate children in Davao City. It is comprised of two phases. The first phase focuses on the ―awareness‖ part where international volunteers immerse to different NGOs as a means to integrate the children into the mainstream society. Second Phase is the ―action‖ part where volunteers take part in a community immersion to address the concerns for health among children through community health drives and Community Participatory Action Research.

Project Based on Exchange for Summer 2012

our mission We intend to help improving the condition of children’s developing environment by initiating a movement of sensitivity for the issue in Davao City. We aim to mobilize human resources to spread awareness of the situation of children and to create necessary action steps to ease their situation. Through the volunteer work which the project entails, we believe that we can create young leaders who can positively work and impact the society, who can also create good case practices in Davao City for spreading awareness that can be adapted by other countries.

By the end of their internship, it is expected that both parties shall have experienced something that changes their values and behaviors towards each other.

Volunteers self-realize because of the experience and children feel accepted and cared for

The volunteers of the program obtain a sense of fulfillment and awareness. For the international volunteers, this allows them to bring their experiences back to their countries and apply what they have learned and also the values that they have realized. The children, on the other hand, are given a life-changing experience where they acknowledge the care and love that society has to offer them creating a lifetime impact.

INTEGRATION OF CHLDREN WITH NEEDS INTO MAINSTREAM SOCIETY This is the impact and main goal of the entire PBOX and we believe that the volunteer-child interaction is the best way to create an impression on both parties and achieving this goal. After the volunteer program, there will have been a difference made in each childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life.

Internship in Davao R.A.I.N. for Kids

project model EPs conduct community profiling The community profile serves two purposes. EPs will do community profiling of the target communities to assess persistent problems affecting health of its residents especially the children. Data gathered shall be used to devise lecture topics for the symposium addressing these problems. Second, the community profile should also contain other persistent problems and immediate concerns that need to be addressed by the community; the data will be used to generate a certain tangible output that is beneficial to the community. Community Health Drive After gathering the necessary data and match community needs and what the EPs can provide, they will develop the learning plan for the symposia that is deemed fit to the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reality (e.g., records show that most children in the community suffered from dengue last year, EPs from that group will devise a lecture that will explain about dengue, its causes and preventive measures). Afterwards, they will conduct community health drives (medical mission and symposium) focused on children in different barangays [small administrative divisions in cities or municipalities in the Philippines] around the city. They will give the lecture presentations to target audience and assist in the execution of the medical mission. EPs craft a mini-project for the community Using the data from the community profile, EPs will create a project responding to the most immediate community problem determined during the profiling. Interns are given autonomy to craft and manage their own project and employ own strategies that effectively achieve the goals of their project.
