STUDENT REVIEWS
MONICA DUGGAL
The University of Sheffield
“ I and 2 friends organized our dental elective in the Philippines and I couldn’t fault it! The staff worked hard throughout the 2 weeks we were with them to ensure we had a lot of hands-on experience and various things to do! I would recommend it to any students considering an elective in the Philippines. Thanks again for an unforgettable experience! ”
BENJAMIN PEARLMAN
The University of Sheffield
“ Our dental elective in Roxas City was perfectly organized—offering hands-on experience at the local university, community outreach, and meaningful patient care across Capiz. April and her family went above and beyond, making it an unforgettable cultural and clinical experience. Highly recommended! ”
GREER TAYLOR
The University of Sheffield
“ My experience of both dentistry in the Philippines and the country itself would not have been the same without the help and support provided by the team at the local team. Myself and two others were made to feel so very welcome and safe at all times. If you are looking for dental experience in an environment very different to our own (e.g. for an elective project) I couldn’t recommend it enough. ”
SOPHIE ARNOLD

“ I had an amazing 2 weeks volunteering in the Philippines. - would thoroughly recommend any dental/medical students wanting hands-on experience to do this! April and her team went above and beyond to make us feel welcome as well as to ensure we did everything we wanted! Thanks again! ”

CONOR DONNELLY

“ Had an unforgettable experience with April and her family in the Philippines on our dental elective, would definitely recommend for any students looking to experience hands-on work in the area, and the hospitality we had as a group of 4 students was amazing, thank you! ”
CHONG EN CHU
University of Queensland
“ My partner Jessie Zhu and I decided to go to the Philippines for our medical elective in Roxas City. We are normally based in Brisbane, Australia. We cannot recommend them enough. You'll be well and truly looked after by April and her partner, Nino - it honestly felt like they were our family in the Philippines. ”
FAJER BUKABAR
Kuwait University
“ I had my psychiatry elective in Roxas City last August, and coming all the way from Kuwait, I was warmly welcomed with genuine hospitality. The staff were incredibly supportive, the experience was very helpful, and the accommodation felt just like home—exactly what I had hoped for. The Philippines is a beautiful country with kind people, and I would definitely recommend this program to anyone considering an international elective. ”
THOMPSON TAYLOR
The University of Sheffield
“ I had the best time on our ventures in the Philippines. We were provided with not only an excellent dental experience but also many fun activities. April and the staff went above and beyond to accommodate us and make us feel welcome throughout our stay.
Couldn’t recommend dental and medical students to join the program highly enough! ”
