Greetings Volunteer!
A blessed new year to all of you!
We hope you've had a wonderful vacation with your
loved ones and
are all geared up to go out and
volunteer!
Every day we hear news of crime happening in the
metropolis.
The perpetrators are usually desperately poor.
Contrast that with
the children who have persevered in school
despite all the odds,
getting good jobs and taking their family out of
the slums to go to
their new home in a better
environment.
We can help them take one more step towards that
future. The more
we volunteer, the more steps we can help them
take. The more we
encourage them to stay in school and keep at it,
the more they leave
a future with a life on the streets. A positive
change that can help
generations.
This Saturday marks our first time to tutor this
year and we will
be announcing new developments there - good
news! In a nutshell
we have a plan so that more children will have
the help they urgently
need! Can you come?
Please know that you don't have to be a
teacher to join us. You never
know how much of an impact you will make on a
child from the streets.
Even for a short
while you can touch a life. You can touch the future!
Last time we had a fun session, not just with the
children but with getting to know
the new volunteers. We are blessed to get to
know a lot of folks with golden hearts!
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.

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!
