This
year we have a special team of
volunteers: three Germans - Rosa, Hannah
and Julian; two French Sisters and the permanent Filipino team: Perla, Melanie,
Teresa, Roberto, Lorelisa, Kemberly, Jerome and other new people that
help us a lot.
The
number of children was almost the same as previous years: 145, 150, 160 and we
finish with 95. The reason was that this year the enrolment in the different
schools took place during these days and the children were called to join the
Brigada sa Eskwela, which means, the cleaning of the school, classrooms, etc.
For
prayer we tried to practice Lectio Divina.
Volunteers and groups of children alike joined in this way of
praying. Some of the volunteers were
touched by the participation of the children, the way the children applied the
reflection of the Gospel to their own lives.
Our groups of activities were:
Cooking, Puppets, singing and dancing, making flowers, computer,
Maths, reading, spelling, and special group to prepare to go kindergarten.
Everybody
lived with joy these 15 days of meeting together. The spontaneous sharing of the little
missionaries with the song ‘WE ARE ONE’ was really nice. At the end, everyone was able to sing that
meaningful song.
All
of us were touched by the closeness and simple service of Sister Dominique, the
Superior General of the Holy Family Congregation; she was among us as one of
us, serving the children, smiling, listening.
Bye,
bye and see you next year. Thanks to the Sisters that allow us to be happy in
learning.
