I may have not lived my life as best as I should but I'm always grateful each time I'm blessed with the opportunity to share a piece of my heart to others. Seeing this innocent smiles in return is indeed very rewarding. Priceless.
This blog is inspired by one of our fellow Steemit friend after reading her post sharing her wonderful moment as a volunteer.
The story behind that single picture: A kid's love for selfie
I also had my moments as a volunteer and I'm happy to share it here with you all. =)
It was a lovely early morning when me and my team mates arrived at Tingub Elementary School, one of the school located in a rural area here in Cebu.
The moment we entered the gate, we noticed there were already some kids waiting outside and one with her teacher approached us and gave us a warm welcome. It was recess time so more kids went out from their classrooms to see what's going on. Some kids are waving at us saying "Good morning po Ate!". It's really heart warming to see the kids smiling around, we feel like celebrities in their eyes. 😅
Each of us was then assigned to some classrooms to bond with the kids for an hour and to give them new books and school supplies.
I was lucky to be assigned in this classroom: Grade 2 Section Love ❤
Meet my super cute and bright pupils. I really had fun story telling with these kids. After reading them stories, we had a short game or like a quiz. They seem to enjoy it too.
Future Policeman, Doctor and Teacher 😊 (They told me when I asked what they want to be like when they grow up and finish school)
These kids really made me feel like a real teacher. One of the best moment of my life really. It's very touching when a couple of the parents told me I can be a good teacher and the kids seem to like me.
After the classroom activity, the teachers gathered the kids outside to join the short program we prepared for them and had more fun games.
There's also one child that got my attention. Her name is Sarah. We had to help her out from her classroom and she sat next to us up in the stage.
She's very shy at first. Seeing her sweet smile was indeed priceless.
Later, she showed me her notebooks. I can see she's very clever. I was really impressed that she got really good grades. I could remember, I rarely get a perfect score in my primary school days. 😝
At end of the program, we all gave them free snacks. I love snack time lol 😅
I really missed this volunteering moments really. Since my work schedule has changed, I rarely have time to join. Wish I could join again next time.
I hope you all enjoyed this blog. Have a great week everyone!
With much love from Cebu,
Thank you! Daghan Salamat! Maraming Salamat po!
