For the past months, my COSORES
group has been planning for our Service Learning Project. We kept in mind that it is vital to help the
unfortunate Filipino citizens and teach them something that will be beneficial
for them in the future. With that, we
officially decided to choose Reception and Action Center (RAC) as our
beneficiary. This place is a temporary
caring shelter for displaced people.
Last year, I actually went to this center for a project that I headed
for BMS. For some reason, the children
living in this place really touched me and made me realize how lucky I am as a
person, living in a good home with my loving family. Below is a picture of myself and a little
girl that I became attached with during my visit last year in RAC:
From yesterday (July 18) until today (July
19), my group finalized our plans for our visit tomorrow (July 20). When I contacted the RAC, they informed me
that the children are not studying in school and therefore, we decided that
tutoring them would not be a good idea. As
discussed with the center, we did not have to conduct our first session with
the kids wherein our focus was to tutor them with their current studies. Thus, we focused on our idea, which is to conduct
value-added activities for the children.
Our main ideas were to teach them how to make pastillas and have an art
session, particularly painting.
My group made sure that all the necessary
materials are all set for tomorrow for us to have a successful service-learning
project. Here are some of the pictures
of our materials for the activity.
