Greetings Volunteer,
Last session was a workout but it was worth it.
The barangay had a meeting upstairs in the third floor so we were
relegated to the first floor (which you would think would the better place). We needed some muscle
power to bring the childrens' books from the filing cabinet downstairs and they were heavy BUT the
good thing was that the children really needed them and they seemed so engrossed in their session that we
went a bit overtime.
We also had fun with Nurse Kay as she taught the kids skeletal parts. This was the first time I learned what phalanges were! Good thing God provides a way for us to teach the kids when we don't know what they are talking about!
Even if you have no clue what phalenges are (just google it),
please come and share what
you do know! We will just help each other
out!
The children do need your support. We want them to be the best
they can be. Their street life environment is not conducive for them to study
at home. Many drop out but with your help, we can help them to love
learning.
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.

+ 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.
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 text 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.
