Lets VolunTutor Together!




Dear Voluntutor,

Exam time is coming by next month and the children need as much help as they can get! 
 
They are eager to learn and they love to spell!  They just need someone to practice English with and drill them on the multiplication tables.

 
Come this Saturday?

We will need 25 volunteers.  Please be sure to alert me if you plan to come so
you can 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.

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: 

July 18, 2015 Saturday
1 to 3 pm
1st or 3rd floor, Brgy. Bungad
*near Baler St. and West Ave. QC

*PLEASE ask for directions before Saturday because sometimes, we are
already doing the orientation and some volunteers are lost because we
are already busy and were not able to answer the calls.


THINGS TO BRING:
- bring water, you might get thirsty!
- snacks to share with kids and volunteers (optional)
- ballpen and scratch paper
- just some enthusiasm!!!
- OPTIONAL: If you have wifi that would help a lot for questions we can't
answer but someone else's can be borrowed in case you don't have :)


This Saturday is coming and we pray that:

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.
3. That the volunteers will enjoy their session with the children.

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

If you cannot be there but want to help, we need:
+ offer to photocopy exercise sheets
+ lesson plans / activity sheets (grades 1 to 6)
+ urgent need: filing cabinet or locked cabinet for the books


This Saturday is coming and we pray that:

1. We will have a good attendance of both volunteers and children.
2. That that children will be able to learn and excel in school.
3. That the tutors will enjoy their session with the children and take home wonderful memories.

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 reply to me.
Please confirm if you are coming so we can assign you a child
to Shannon at shannon_capati@yahoo.com

Lastly do tell us if you are coming!!!  Sometimes there are last minute
changes with the venue so we need your confirmation.

Blessings!

Christina Alejandro
Volunteer Coordinator

P.S.  If you cannot come this Saturday, please come next time!

*Please feel free to pass this e-mail invite to anyone who may be interested to join us!

    Achievers Treat 2015

    Last year it was 18.

    This year it's 22.


    That's the number of achievers we have this year!  Congratulations for reaching our standard!  

    The first year we started this initiative, there were only 5 children who passed.  We must be doing something right!  Almost all the children now have reached the average grade for this treat!  Clap!  Clap!  Clap!

    First off in the program, we prayed for our event and then the tutors gave some praise and encouragement to the students!

    Then the shopping ensued!  The kids used up some of their treat money for shoes, toys, school supplies and knick knacks.  Others didn't use it yet as they wanted to save it!






    Then we went to our favorite Mang Inasal!




    The children really loved it!  The tiniest of children had like 3 servings of rice!  (Sulit ang unli rice!)

    I'm so proud of the children's achievements but even more than that, I was struck by the compassion of the children.  While we were waiting for the food from Mang Inasal, there was a lonely child crying loudly inside the restaurant.  The children surrounded her with sympathetic expressions and they were so concerned with why she was crying.  Soon enough the child's mother arrived so she was alright.  I was really struck by the children's empathy!

    We may need to raise our average grade level just to preserve our budget for next year!  But keep up the good work kids!
