Established in August 2001, Hands On Manila (HOM) brings to the Philippines and the Asia Pacific region an innovative and alternative model of volunteer service. The flexibility model of volunteer service allows for volunteering to be integrated into daily schedules even for busy individuals.

Based on the premise that everyone can serve, HOM’s mission is to mobilize people to address the critical social, educational and environmental needs of the Metro Manila area through volunteer action. HOM believes that VOLUNTEER ACTION is a powerful force for creating change.

The session was very informative and very timely that the participants readily interacted with the speaker and were very thankful and considered it an eye opener to what everyone is experiencing in the workplace and on how to manage oneself with regards to work-related stress and depression.
