Sept 20 What You Do is Never Wasted

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

or  shannon_capati@yahoo.com.

 

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:

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.

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!)
