Please join us on March 10, 2-5pm for the orientation meeting of this year’s Festival of Learning, a summer art and reading workshop program with underprivileged children living in Manila and nearby provinces.
We shall share workshop ideas, create prototypes and coach new volunteers on how to facilitate the workshops.
We welcome volunteers from all walks of life! Don’t worry if you do not have any formal teaching experience. As long as you have a genuine desire to be the learning companions of children living in poverty during festival days, you will be perfect for the role.
If you have questions or need help with directions, contact Losha Teliuk.
