So Very Grateful!

Dear Volunteer,

We are so happy to share that our Dec. 6 party was so filled with overwhelming goodness!

year to hit the Philippines and made it sunny and perfect for the party to push through!!! 

(Nothing short of a miracle!)

Make Your Mark on November 15

Greetings Volunteer, 

Good news!  More students reached now more than ever!  The UP Broadcasters Guild organization conducted their second tutoring session for around 20 He Cares foundation students yesterday, Nov. 8, 2024.  Our efforts are being multiplied thanks to their help!

Come this Saturday?

We will need 15 more volunteers.

You don't have to be a whiz at Math and English, we just need you to listen to the children and to help them read books (provided) and maybe understand their lessons (if you need assistance, other tutors may be asked).  Don't be apprehensive about forgetting the basics from gradeschool, we've forgotten too.  It's a team and we help each other remember.  What's most important is that these children make a friend who encourages them to go on.

Just an hour to encourage them that learning can be enjoyable (or that it is possible to understand) is more than enough. Seeing people who care is enough.  

Please join us on:

Nov. 15, 2014 (Saturday)

1. We will have a good attendance of both volunteers and children.

2. That that children will be able to enjoy the session and be better at school.

1-1:30 pm is for First timers orientation, asking questions

        and setting up the venue (arranging chairs, putting books and materials

        on the tables etc)

1:30 or 2 to 3 pm tutoring proper

        *when the volunteers come earlier,we can start tutoring earlier

*PLEASE ask for directions before Saturday because sometimes, we are

already doing the orientation and some volunteers are lost because we

We are calling for more volunteers!  Everyone is invited.  You don't have to be a tutor.  You just need to have a heart of compassion for these young ones.  What will we teach?  Primarily English and Math.  If you are able to teach other subjects that is great but we don't require professional tutors.  What we need are people who are encouraging and positive for the children to emulate.

How?  Come and the children will ask you about their homework or you can tell them a story or do some simple arithmetic with them. 

Please consider coming.  When we lack tutors, we cannot give the attention they badly need since we have to tutor 2 or 3 or 4 students at a time.  We aim to have one child to one tutor.  If you have more questions please feel free to contact us.  Please confirm if you are coming so we can assign you a child to Shannon at shannon_capati@yahoo.com

Oct 18 Be Happy!

Greetings Volunteer,

We had a great comeback last Saturday!  We actually had 2 simultaneous sessions!  One at Brgy. Bungad and one at the He Cares Foundation spearheaded by UP Broadguild!!!

Our dream of finally multiplying our efforts is being slowly realized.  We hope that this will continue to push through.

We had a good number of children and volunteers!!!  Everyone had a lot of fun too!  We even got to organize the worksheets and books in the filing cabinet.  Here are some

pics from last week.

Come this Saturday?

We will need 10 more volunteers.  We already have 5 so confirm now to be counted!  And

to be informed of any last minute announcements.

You don't have to be a whiz at Math and English, we just need you to listen to the children and to help them read books (provided) and maybe understand their lessons (if you need assistance, other tutors may be asked).  Don't be apprehensive about forgetting the basics from gradeschool, we've forgotten too.  It's a team and we help each other remember.  What's most important is that these children make a friend who encourages them to go on.

Sept 20 What You Do is Never Wasted

Greetings Volunteer,

Did you miss tutoring?  We did!

 

The remaining August session was cancelled to give way to anniversary festivities.

 

But last Sept 6 we had a lot of volunteers from the Mitsuba Philippines Corporation.

Their company holds quarterly social action events but they told me that this was the first time

they actually interacted with the recipients of their generosity.  They found it a lot of fun

and hope they could come back some day.

FYI.  This Saturday I won't be there as I will be out of town with the family BUT the point

person for that session is Shannon.  You can contact her at Cel 0917-835-4511

or  shannon_capati@yahoo.com.

 

Come this Saturday?

 

You don't have to be a whiz at Math and English, we just need you to listen to the children

and to help them read books (provided) and maybe understand their lessons (if you need

assistance, other tutors may be asked).  Don't be apprehensive about forgetting the basics
