Good day, Steemers!
It feels good to be finally active on steemit after a long while.
It was July of this year (2018) that I was introduced to the site by two acquaintances (whom I consider to be friends), and
. They are partners in a project called Walk of Hope, whose mission is to teach and share music and art to all children and even willing adults all over the Philippines for free!
Our motives are somewhat similar. What they are doing though, is on a different level. While I do it at the comfort my own backyard, does it travelling across the whole nation.
Here is a little information about me.
I am a Secondary School Teacher in the Philippines, teaching Technology and Livelihood Education to 12-13-year old students. On vacant hours, I tried to help boost student’s confidence by encouraging them to sing and/or by teaching them the basics of arts. Through this, I have observed positive results on many of them. Most have become more participative in the class and are slowly showing signs of confidence in themselves.
I am hoping that what they have right now will continue to grow and will someday lead them to a better future.
Even if I am doing all this for free (including the supplies), I am continually receiving priceless rewards for my efforts. I have gained insights and learned lessons I could never have learned, had I chosen not to tread this path!
I am looking forward to sharing with you personal experiences, stories, art works and even moments I have with these children.
Until then,
