Dear Volunteers,

We hope to see you on August 6!

For those of us who signed up at iVolunteer, please make sure you block off the dates you have volunteered for.  In some cases, many of those who signed up didn't come and then we turned away volunteers who wanted to come but couldn't sign up as the slots were full already.

Summer Fun Events

Dear VolunTutor!


We hope that you will still join us this summer as we bring the children to educational locations. Some of the places the children have already been to:  Manila Planetarium, San Agustin, Ocean Park, and Mind Museum.

Do you know of other places we can bring them this summer 2016?  Kindly give your suggestions to us in the comments section below.

We are thinking of bringing them to Dolljoy Museum http://www.dolljoygallery.com/gallery-and-museum.html (hopefully they won't want to buy all the dolls!!!)

We will also need vehicles and snacks for the children so let us know!

Bless you!


Wednesday Sessions

We would like to thank the noble souls who have been coming to the Wednesday VolunTutorials.  We want to share the good news that even on the 1st session, with only a handful of volunteers, the children already showed a huge improvement in their studies!  We are so happy to see that happening!  THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!

Here are some photos, taken by our Balik Aral coordinator Cathy.  Sign up for the next sessions at www.ivolunteer.com.ph 








He Cares Foundation welcomes all kinds of help from kind souls like you.  Teach a skill for livelihood?  Hold a medical mission?  Encourage homeless children?  You can do it!

Visit He Cares Foundation on any Saturday morning and meet the wonderful children and staff!

Wednesday Tutoring Begins





--------------- UPDATE!  New Time for Wednesday Tutoring Sessions is 9 AM (instead of 10am).  ---------------

Hello VolunTutor!



We are all set for March 16 and 30 (new scheds) Wednesday 10AM-12NN tutoring.  
Kindly sign up at http://www.ivolunteer.com.ph 

We already have a good number of volunteers who signed up for the 5 household boys in need of help with their schooling.

For those who signed up, please watch this online orientation video https://youtu.be/qL2XjIBKabw so you can start right away.  It is a online tutoring orientation that is very important to watch.  

Once you get there, Cathy, the Balik Aral coordinator, will guide you with the materials and other information.

The children on Wednesday are in the He Cares household because their parents are not capable of taking care of them.  They are in Grades 3-4.

If you need directions on getting to the He Cares Mission building, pls contact Cathy 09324623769 and please look for her when you get there to introduce you to the kids.

Thank you soooo very much!  Have fun!

Happy VolunTutors, Happy Kids



Dear VolunTutor,

During every session, we truly share our joy with the children and the children also make us so happy!  Their desire to learn, their enthusiasm, their idealism is infectious!  We are so thankful for every volunteer who has come and made a difference in the lives of the children!

Come this Saturday?

We will need 30 volunteers.  Please be sure to alert me if you plan to come - text 09985513165 so you can be informed of any last minute announcements.

You don't have to be a whiz at Math and English, and no teaching experience is required - we just need you to listen to the children and to help them read books and worksheets (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 is more than enough. Seeing people who care is enough.

Please join us on: 

January 30, 2016 (Saturday)
1 to 3 pm

*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:
