The Most Powerful Weapon

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.

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.

 

October 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!
