“Everyone has a talent, ability, or skill that he can mine to support him and to succeed in life.”
-Dean Koontz, author



The students had a break from their academic class for this day was a “Talent Day”!

Selected students joined the art class workshop that was facilitated by another volunteer organization named Loose Marbles.  Their aim is to enhance the natural talents of the kids in terms of Arts. After the said workshop, there will be a poster-making contest and an art exhibit featuring the kids’ creative works.

For the students that were left, a “Show your talent” activity was the given task. Each volunteers handled a number of kids per grade level. They were assigned to create a short play or skit and will present it in front later on with the kids.
September is National Teacher’s Month so this was the theme of the skit. And also the play may contain a little touch of Mathematics in relation with the current academic subject of the month.

Teacher Abby Mamaril – one of the volunteer teachers was a product of Star Magic acting workshop and she will be the one who will choose a total of 15 talented kids.  The selected students will have a weekly acting workshop with her. By December this year, they will be having a production number which is a stage play.

 45 minutes was the given time for each group to think and practice for their presentation that should last for 3-5 minutes only.

 After the allotted time, one by one, each group then came in front to showcase their talent.
The kids sung, danced and acted and it was indeed a wonderful “talent show” with teacher Abby as the judge.

The winning group which was the “Team Pogi” got special prizes.


Teacher Abby then selected some kids who will audition for next week.  She told these kids to prepare a monologue and from them she will choose the final 15 kids.

After that was the recess and the kids went home.

Thank you volunteer-teachers for spending your Sunday morning with us and of course with these wonderful and talented kids!
