A life-changing trip overseas is coming up for a group of locals who aim to help those in need and make a difference.
The four, who are staff and volunteers at the Rotorua Youth Centre, will spend three weeks during February helping people in Angeles City, Philippines.
Steve Holmes, Rotorua Youth Centre manager, said they were all passionate about humanitarian work.
Mr Holmes went to the Philippines in February this year and it had a big impact on him.
He said he wanted to make more of a lasting difference and hoped to be able to make the trip an annual thing, taking others with him.
