Ganito ba kayo noon?

Greetings Volunteer!

Buti nalang! Buti nalang we don't need to be a couple of geniuses to

help children in need!

These children live in dark, crowded environments. The streets are

more enticing. Many of them stop schooling just to help the family out.

They need to have some new friends to tell them they can dream and

achieve anything if they just keep at it and if they don't give up.

That person is you and me and we are sorely needed!

Just 2 hours 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:

September 28, 2013 (Saturday)

1 to 3 pm

3rd floor, Brgy. Bungad

*near Baler St. and West Ave. QC (map attached)

If you cannot be there but want to help, we need:

+ scratch paper

+ lesson plans / activity sheets (grades 1 to 2nd yr high)

This Saturday is coming and we pray that:

1. We will have a good number of tutors for the children coming.

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.

Here are the latest schedules for future sessions.

September 28
October 12 & 26
November 9 & 23
December 7 (christmas party)

This Saturday:

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.

Blessings!

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!

Live Your Life From Your Heart

Greetings Volunteer!

Just to update you a bit on the moms who attended the Tahanan ng Panginoon

B.L.E.S.S. event. A van load of moms came specially to the graduation night,

one of the most attended sessions.

One mom said she didn't want to go home after being ministered to, prayed

for by the servers. Another mom said she felt so light and happy. One mom

told me that before she was attending prayer sessions like these, she used to

beat up her daughter but since she became serious in attending, she has changed

a lot and no longer does this. Incidentally, her daughter is doing well in school!

Your efforts count a lot! These children (and their parents) need what little

support (and prayers) we can give them. Thank you for your tireless efforts!

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.
