Project Pearls Summer Program (May 3, 2015)
I may say that I really enjoyed this day.
Aside from being with the kids, I’m with y friends also. They volunteered by their own will. Walang pwersahang naganap. Hahaha.
At six thirty in the morning, nasa meeting place na kami at doon na rin kami nag-breakfast. Tinapay courtesy of Julie’s Bakeshop.
Miss Jeddah is not present today so as her proxy, it’s Miss Aa.
The road of Helping Land has been so muddy that is worse than the other time I went there.
As for the first part, we had a story telling care of Kuya Aman. The story is about the Legend of Bitterguard (Alamat ng Ampalaya)
It’s Art’s day with the kids. Today is the fight of Manny Pacquiao against Floyd Mayweather so the kids have a coloring activity. To show support, they colored a black and white drawing of Manny putting a cheer or slogan on the side.
I had five students today and one of them made me cry today. Out of nowhere while we were having a coloring activity, Rochel opened up her life’s story. Her parents separated and she was left on the care of her father together with her younger brother. She wants to go to her mom but her mom doesn’t want to take care of her and her mom has already a new partner that is engaged with illegal drugs.
Her mom promised to buy her new clothes but she never got one and her simple dream is to eat at Jollibee because she has been there yet.
This made me realized once again that I am so much lucky financially and for having good parents for this life time. She’s telling her story while crying and I haven’t escaped myself for being teary eyed also.
Ang bigat sa dibdib, haha.
I just told her to study harder and never stop dreaming to have a better life someday. She’s thirteen years old but according to the teacher, she has to go back to grade one because she a poor reading skill in English.
We’ve got the chance to read a story book in English and I can see that she is so eager to learn the English language. If only there’s much time, I would love to teach her more.
At past 11 a.m. we’re ready to leave the place and will be so sure to come back again.
