Greetings Volunteer,
We had a great comeback last Saturday! We actually had 2
simultaneous sessions! One at Brgy. Bungad and one at the He Cares Foundation spearheaded
by UP Broadguild!!!
Our dream of finally multiplying our efforts is being slowly
realized. We hope that this will continue to push through.
We had a good number of children and volunteers!!! Everyone had a
lot of fun too! We even got to organize the worksheets and books in the filing
cabinet. Here are some
pics from last week.
Come this Saturday?
We will need 10 more volunteers. We already have 5 so
confirm now to be counted! And
to be informed of any last minute
announcements.
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:

THINGS TO BRING:

thirsty!

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 contact us. 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.
Blessings!
Blessings!
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!
