This was my second time going to Zambales for ICARE. For me I thought last year was amazing, but this year is was similar but different as well. The reason it was different was because there were new people, but the most important was that they were people I rarely spoke to. I got to meet new people in the sense that they were people I didn't really know, but whom I knew of.



Zambales this year was the best ICARE to end my senior year… Continue

ICARE Zambales was awesome.



It was definitely a good ending to my ICARE experience in high school. The ICARE program provided me experiences - in all honesty - that I would have never been exposed to in my life.

At Zambales we scheduled every day to capacity, and made the most of our… Continue

When I think about ICARE, I remember “Luceat Lux”- “Let your light Shine” in Latin. Yes, Christmas is near and “shiny” is quality to look out for. However, more than the shininess of that gadget or ring, what of the shining of our hearts? This is what I saw in 2008 ICare Zambales. My first year at ISM and my first ICare has opened some new perspectives in the field of constructive volunteerism; ICare not only gave me the opportunity to reach-out and touch the lives of others once again, but… Continue
