Be someone's superhero today!
Hello guys! It has been few days since I posted something relevant and of significance on my blog. So now, allow me to share to you a project initiated by my good friends from Teach For the Philippines. Cher Regie and Cher Suzette are both teacher fellows and public school teachers of Tebeng Elementary School. They are already on the second year of their fellowship.
The SuPEERhero: Helping Young Leaders Help Themselves is a program that aims to empower the students leaders of Tebeng Elementary School to become agents in their own school community. Tebeng Elementary School is a small rural public school located at the edge of Dagupan City, Pangasinan, Philippines.
Tebeng Elementary School will conduct different leadership workshops and training sessions. It aims to develop the knowledge and skills of the #BatangTebeng to become effective leaders. At the end of this project, student leaders are expected to create their own projects for their community.
How will you be able to become someone's Superhero in this project then?
(1) SuPEERmentor - You can become a workshop speaker or volunteer facilitator
In my honest opinion, the best way to give by to the nation is to make disciples of your own or make initiatives like this happen as a speaker or facilitator. By doing so, you will be able to share your insights and techniques as well.
(2) SuPEERChampion - You can help fund the students leaders on the program. You can help donate. Just feel free to contact suzette.guevarra17@teachforthephilippines.org or call/text at 0917-813-2632.
(3) Provide SuPEERkits - You can provide training kits for the suPEERheroes! It will include but not limited to bags, pens, pencils, notebooks, and paper.
(4) Or become SuPEERpartners by thinking of other ways to help. You can contact Suzette on her phone number or her email provided above!
It would really be a great help if steemph, curators, and other personalities help me spread the word to make this project successful. Upvoting would also help a lot as payout via SBD on this post would be donated to fund the project.
Why do we need to support projects as this? With your upvote and resteeming this post, the payout can help change a student's life! Investing on this type of project would help them develop their skills and knowledge in being empathetic with their communities, understanding existing problems, and then coming up with active solutions. In this way, we are not just developing them to become effective leaders, but also having other future leaders through them.
Anyhow, Teach for the Philippines is a non-governmental organization which aims to provide quality education to primary and secondary public school. You can help make access to quality education a reality for all Filipino children through your donations or volunteer as a teacher fellow.
