Philippines???

Hi, just as a brief intro, I'm a UK expat working in Qatar, with family in the Philippines. Also amongst other things a soon to be retired EMEA-CC member.



On my last trip to Mindanao I was approached by a Niece who goes to one of the local universities for assistance in a industrial visit. Helping her was a no-brainer but then the gears in the brain slowly started turning!



What can the IET do to help support young professionals in such an empoverished area, especially as there is no LN in the Philippines according to the UK?



In other countries we've been keen on supporting students by way of student chapters...has this been considered in your region.



Sorry about poking my nose in on another CC, maybe when I retire permanently to Philippines I can give you guys some support there  but not quite yet.



Merry Xmas and a happy new year

    Thank you for the full brief, at present my visits to Minadao are quite brief while I sort out wedding and visas with aview to havving my wife and family here in Qatar, Once I retire, maybe 3 years time, I will be relocating to the Philippines, probably Davao and will be happy to assist in any way I can as a retired member. In the mean time my next short visit is scheduled for 14th Feb at which time I can plant the seed, and see how it develops.



    Who's your YP member on the CC so that I can put them in contact if need be?



    Happy gregorian new year...
