In February 2023, amidst the lush beauty of the Philippines, a journey in civic engagement took root in the heart of the Airbnb Philippines Host Club. As one of the Airbnb Host Community Leaders within this community, I found a unique opportunity to contribute to the lives of the indigenous tribe dwelling along the Pamulaklakin Aeta Forest Trail.
Passionate Airbnb Hosts embarked on an inspiring journey to the indigenous tribe of Pamulaklakin Trail in Subic Bay, Philippines. Our mission was rooted in a desire to empower this community through education, hoping to create opportunities for a brighter future. As advocates of civic engagement, We saw an opportunity to uplift the Ayta tribe by imparting essential skills that could open doors to economic sustainability.
The initiative began with the notion that teaching basic housekeeping skills could not only elevate the living standards of the community but also create employment opportunities within the realm of Airbnb hosting. With the aim to bridge the gap and offer the tribe an avenue for involvement in the hospitality industry, workshops were organized to teach the intricacies of housekeeping, cleanliness, and the art of becoming an Airbnb Host housekeeper or co-host.
The engagement was met with enthusiasm and warmth from the Pamulaklakin Forest Trail community. They eagerly absorbed the knowledge, embracing the chance to explore new possibilities.
Months later, in August 2023, a subsequent chapter of this civic engagement unfolded. Collaborating with fellow Airbnb hosts, we expanded our impact by extending our support to the children of the Aeta tribe community. Recognizing the significance of education and art, we organized workshops focused on drawing and watercolor painting for the children. Donated art materials, generously contributed by both Airbnb hosts, friends and family, were distributed among 98 eager and enthusiastic children.
The initiative not only nurtured creativity but also served as a means of connecting these young minds with their heritage, instilling a sense of pride and belonging.
The act of giving back had not only enriched the lives of the indigenous people but had also cultivated a bond between disparate cultures, fostering a shared sense of humanity and solidarity.
The journey was a testament to the power of civic engagement in fostering positive change and the beauty that emerges when communities unite to support one another.
What a beautiful story and what an important mission!
Thank you for sharing this experience, empowering communities through education and creating opportunities for the future.
I love your story and anecdotes. Thanks for inspiring us! ❤️
@Patricia2526 What an amazing story and such a fantastic tribute from your Airbnb community!!! Such a great idea!
@Leslie955 Thank you! I couldn’t have done it without the help of my fellow hosts 💕
@Patricia2526 What an AWESOME story of giving back! Leaves me thinking about and wondering what I can do to help and give back where there's a need. Thanks for sharing 🙏🏽
Hello @Patricia2526 . It's a pleasant surprise seeing you're from Manila, Philippines. One of my books I've written was there a few months ago at the International Book Fair. A representative of Global Publishing went to Manila with mine and a few other books.
@Jo932 ! What!!! I didn't know we had a writer amidst us here😍.
Would you like to share more about your writings with us? We do have another creative soul in our Community Center here @John7474 . Thought it would be really great to introduce you both to eachother😍.
Love how our Hosts in the Community never cease to surprise us with their talents 😉😻.
what does @John7474 bring to the table. I am blown away. This is great! Meeting so many new friends. I have written a total of three children's books but the third one is taking forever to get published. The two on the market right now are Me and Toby, and the second one it the follow up to that one, Chair, the Next Generation.
@Bhumika we have another children's author who I have met on zoom meetings with @Quincy from Kansas City. It is @Christine615, and she joined Airbnb in 2012, so her profile states. Airbnb CC Forum must be a place to get inspiration from what with @John7474 and @Jo932.
