We want to share with you the good news that we have new materials
for our tutoring sessions care of Lorie Francisco yey *applause*!!!
Thanks Lorie! These are arranged by grade level so all we have to
do is work with the children on these English and Math worksheets.
We will aid you in how to use them during the orientation.
Last Saturday's tutoring session, we had a good attendance from the
children and a lot of first timers. We hope you come back if you haven't
in a long while. Remember that the more the children see you come back,
the more they feel the love!!!
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?
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:
February 1, 2013 (Saturday)
1 to 3 pm

and setting up the venue (arranging chairs, putting books and materials
on the tables etc)
2-3 tutoring proper
*PLEASE ask for directions before Saturday because sometimes, we are
already doing the orientation and some volunteers are lost because we
are already busy and were not able to answer the calls.
If you cannot be there but want to help, we need:
+ scratch paper
+ offer to photocopy exercise sheets
+ lesson plans / activity sheets (grades 1 to 2nd yr high)
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.
Here are the latest schedules for future sessions.
(1st and 3rd Saturdays of the month)
February 15 March 1 and 15 April 5 and 19 May 3 and 17 June 7 and 21 July 5 and 19 August 2 and 16 September 6 and 20 October 4 and 18 November 15 (possibly another on 29) December 6 (christmas party)
This Saturday:
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 reply to me.
Please confirm if you are coming so we can assign you a child
