Greetings Volunteer!

Sometimes an hour or two of your time with someone can change the

course of their life forever.  Even just a smile, a pat on the back can

tell them that someone cares and wants to see them succeed.

Life on the streets is living a life with an uncertain future.  Many who

are left to themselves turn to their friends who are also searching for

meaning with their existence and some turn to drugs and crime.

He Cares foundation is a beacon of hope for these children but since

there are so many of them, the foundation still needs you to put some of

the pieces together - like hope for the future, value for education, even

just friendship can change the picture!

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:

More about HE CARES FOUNDATION www.hecaresfoundation.com

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

to Shannon at shannon_capati@yahoo.com.

Blessings!
