Greetings Volunteer!
“Let us pick up our books and our pens, they are
the most powerful weapons." - Malala Yousafza, the 16-yr-old Nobel Peace prize nominee asks
governments to stop buying arms
but instead spend the money on
education.
On Saturday we invite you to make a difference in
the lives of young children, to smile, encourage and help them in any way we can to keep them
striving in school, to never give up!
We are sorry the weather was bad last time so we
had to cancel our session. We were concerned for the health of the small
children walking in the rain to the venue as
well as for the volunteers who were coming from as far as Cavite who would have
a harder time if we canceled later in the day.
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 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 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:

This Saturday is coming and we pray
that:
1. We will have a good number of tutors for
the children coming.

excel in school.

the children and take home wonderful memories.

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
Blessings!
