Greetings Volunteer,
Did you miss tutoring? We did!
The remaining August session was cancelled to give way to
anniversary festivities.
But last Sept 6 we had a lot of volunteers from the Mitsuba
Philippines Corporation.
Their company holds quarterly social action events but
they told me that this was the first
time
they actually interacted with the recipients of their generosity.
They found it a lot of fun
and hope they could come back some day.
FYI. This Saturday I won't be there as I will be out of town with
the family BUT the point
person for that session is Shannon. You can contact her at Cel
0917-835-4511
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 an hour 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 20, 2014 (Saturday)
1 to 3 pm
1st or 3rd floor, Brgy. Bungad
*near Baler St. and West Ave. QC

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.
THINGS TO BRING:
- bring water, you might get
thirsty!
- snacks to share with kids and
volunteers (optional)
- ballpen and scratch paper

- OPTIONAL: If you have wifi
that would help a lot for questions we can't
answer but someone else's can be borrowed in case
you don't have :)
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 enjoy the

calls.
If you cannot be there but want to help, we
need:
+ offer to photocopy exercise sheets
+ lesson plans / activity sheets (grades 1 to
6)
+ urgent need: filing cabinet or locked cabinet for the
books
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.
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
Lastly do tell us if you are
coming!!! Sometimes there are last minute
changes with the venue so we need your
confirmation.
Christina Alejandro
Volunteer Coordinator
P.S. If you cannot come this Saturday, please come next
time!
*Please feel free to pass this invitation to anyone who may be
interested to join us!
