"VOLUNTOURISM" PROGRAM OF HELP CATEEL

HELP CATEEL VOLUNTEERS WITH  VOLUNTOURISM PARTICIPANTS

Who wants to be a tourist and a volunteer at the same time? HELP CATEEL launches its new program called " VOLUNTOURISM" last April 27, 2013. It aims to invite tourists to witness  the natural wonders of Cateel, Davao Oriental. At the same time the tourists will volunteer in tree planting activities to help restore the damages caused by Typhoon Pablo last year.




It was 1:00am when the group left Davao City. We arrived in Cateel Poblacion at 7:00am. Breakfast was served at Oriental Food Court owned by the Emboscado Family.  Our itinerary for the day was to have a tree planting activity at Mantunao Ecopark. Another tourist destination we visited was the Mahan-ob Waterfalls.

On our second day, after breakfast the group headed to the majectic "ALIWAGWAG FALLS".  The water is cold and  so refreshing. Late in the afternoon we left Cateel, Davao Oriental and went back to Davao City.
