Greetings Volunteer!
We want to share with you the good news that we
have new materials
for our tutoring sessions care of Lorie Francisco
yey *applause*!!!
Thanks Lorie! These are arranged by grade level
so all we have to
do is work with the children on these English and
Math worksheets.
We will aid you in how to use them during the
orientation.
Last Saturday's tutoring session, we had a good
attendance from the
children and a lot of first timers. We hope you
come back if you haven't
in a long while. Remember that the more the
children see you come back,
the more they feel the love!!!
Helping a child to love learning is surely a step
towards a brighter
future. 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!
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:
February 1, 2013 (Saturday)
1 to 3 pm
3rd floor, Brgy. Bungad
*near Baler St. and West Ave. QC
Schedule:
1-2 pm is for First timers orientation, asking
questions
and setting up the venue (arranging chairs,
putting books and materials
on the tables etc)
2-3 tutoring proper
*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.
If you cannot be there but want to help, we
need:
+ scratch paper
+ offer to photocopy exercise sheets
+ lesson plans / activity sheets (grades 1 to 2nd
yr high)
This Saturday is coming and we pray
that:
1. We will have a good attendance of both
volunteers and children.
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.

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!
