SARIAYA, PHILIPPINES
The Santa Clarita Valley International Program (SCVIP) is currently working on a Medical Mission and travel opportunity to Santa Clarita’s SisterCity in Sariaya, Philippines.
The SCVIP has partnered with the local Filipino-American Association (Fil-Am) and the Sariaya Association of California (SAC) to coordinate a medical mission planned for June 19-23, 2006, that will take a team of doctors and nurses to our sister city to provide surgical operations on children with cleft lip & palates.
This once in a lifetime opportunity to volunteer in a medical mission is open to the public (no medical knowledge necessary). Aside from assisting with this mission, the participants will have an opportunity to explore the region!
