Cancelled: August Tutor Events

NEWSFLASH!!! We need to cancel all the August tutoring schedules due to He Cares having anniversary celebrations for the scholars.  We are sorry for the inconvenience and hope you understand.  We will resume in September. 

On August 2 let's help make their lives better

Greetings Volunteer,

God has a purpose for everything. 

Since we didn't have tutoring last time, I got to meet 2 important people.  These people are AA members.  That's Alcoholics Anonymous.  Many of you know that the children we tutor have fathers with drinking problems.

These people want to help and may have some tips for us who want to address this issue.

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:

July 19 A Lesson on Phalenges

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.

Ballpens to Balloons?

Greetings Volunteer

Ballpens to Balloons?  Sometimes we think we need ballpens when all we need are balloons!  A volunteer texted me right before the session what she needs to bring.  In my mind I texted "ballpens".  When the volunteer arrived, she had balloons!  My my what was I thinking?

So, after the session, we started giving away the balloons.  The children had giant smiles on their faces.

God knew better.  He knew ballpens wouldn't make them smile like this!

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.

Treating Kids TODAY!

Greetings Volunteer!

 

Happy Independence Day!

 

At the start of every semester, we remind the children to do their best,

so they can be the best they can be.  But also...

so we can treat them! 

 

The goal was to get at least an average of 80 on all their subjects.

This is the highest count we have so far!  We are treating 19 children

today (whereas before only 5 could make it).

 

We want to apologize for the extremely late notice!!!  It's because

we have been working out details with the children and the foundation

so it's only today that we got permission for the event.

 

We will be at Jackman Mall, Munoz https://foursquare.com/v/jackman-plaza/4df894e4b0fb9724c5d8de1d

today June 12, 2014

starting 1 PM onwards

We will meet you at the 2nd floor escalator

 

Please let me know if you can make it.  My cell is 0998-551-3165

 

Blessings!

May 17 Exercises for Small Sizes

Film Showing: Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs

Greetings Volunteer!

 

 

So what's happening this Saturday?

 

We are going to have Vicky, a fitness instructor, lead us into simple

exercises that the children will enjoy!

 

Next we will have a sponsored party by the Lambino party.  They

have recently come from Japan and will teach children's exercises

as well!  Afterwards there will be some games and prizes and food!

 

YEEYYYY!

 

Now the Lambino family are celebrating (secretly) the birthday of their

son so they will be inviting other people to help out in the games. 

SOOOO it will be quite a crowd.

 

We already have about 10 volunteers so I didn't make a shoutout online

anymore.  We would rather wish to meet up with you for any ideas

you have for future summer events we can do at the center (if too

crowded, a separate planning meeting will ensue).

 

Last week was fun!  The children were mesmerized by the fantabulous

graphics from the movie "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs"!  It gave the

volunteers some time to plan for future events like the Childrens Choir!!!

(exciting!)

VERY IMPORTANT!!!

This Saturday we are changing venues!!!  We will be at the He Cares

Center in Project 6.

ALSO TAKE NOTE: I have a new cellphone number so please

disregard the old number!  Smart 0998-551-3165

 

Happy Easter season!

 

We've had quite a long break since our last session was last April 5. 

Our basic drama workshop for the children was very new and quite interesting!

 

Now we move onto another summer event, a film showing!

Why a movie?  So the children can enjoy while listening to English

and in a way be more familiar with it.

 

We are not yet sure which movie we will be playing.  It might be Ice Age

or another fun animation film.  Do you have any suggestions? 

 

WHY NOT A FIELD TRIP?This summer is a bit different.  Due to an accident occuring to one of the children

from He Cares (not from our area), the foundation is working on their safety rules

with DSWD.  Until then, we are not allowed to take the children out of the center.

We won't be meeting in Brgy. Bungad until this is all worked out.  Let's hope and pray

this is settled soon!

 

This Saturday, we will serve some merienda at around 2:45pm.  If you would like to bring

snacks (like some biscuits) so the children will have something to munch on while the

movie is running, please do!  The merienda will be pancit and juice so it's okay as well if

you don't bring any.  Please help us serve the merienda and mingle with the children.

Bring a joke or magic trick if you can!

 

On other news...

 

We are still working on Sunday tutoring.  We are still waiting for the number

of children from the area heads so we know how many tutors we need.

 

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?
