The Philippines is home to a staggering number of children who live on the streets. Faced with a multitude of every day challenges, many stop schooling. Some have taken on the task of encouraging the children to dream big for themselves and their families. These are the life and times of a volunteer tutor in the Philippines.

Valentine VolunTutor
Being a volunTutor was one of the things I looked forward to, and surprisingly, I did it on Valentine's Day which made me a "ValenTutor".
I can say that, this was the most memorable Valentine's Day I have experienced, because I believe the sharing of knowledge is the sharing of love.
My first experience at He Cares was beyond my expectations. First, the other tutors were very friendly and approachable. Second, the place was interactive, and lastly, of course, the tutoring experience was fulfilling.
For the tutoring part, it wasn't hard at all. Renz, the kid I tutored was smart. He was open (which I liked), because it somehow helped me to know more about him, and because tutoring must start with getting comfortable with the tutor and the student.
But with the whole experience, my favorite part was when I helped Renz finished his valentine's card. He was going to give it to a longtime tutor at the foundation. Looking forward to do this again.
