AUGUST 2011 NEWS LETTER

“THE RIGHTS OF A FILIPINO CHILD!”

          Nightlife Ministry continue reaching out children who spend their time at streets for money like begging and scavenging. Through the center based ministry, the children go to the center every Tuesday and Wednesday. There they had hygiene activity, bible stories and more. August is the month of Filipino language. From this, we aimed to educate young children about the history of our Filipino language and it’s origin. Not just fighting for their rights but also their rights as a Filipino child. The children enjoyed the educational lessons that teaches more about their nationality, fun games that makes them interact and build relationship to others. We continue praying for these young children becoming responsible Filipino citizens that can help their communities and also share the love of Christ to other children like them.

ALTERNATIVE LEARNING SYSTEM

     From this month of August, the Alternative Learning System give praises for eleven Accreditation and Equivalency Test registered learners. Now, these learners are getting ready giving their best and dedication studying hard from every lesson they had and from those weak subjects each one is facing. Showing good results from their quizzes, essay practices and other academics, these learners shows discipline in studying and in their attitude as a responsible learners in class. Though numbers of learners has been lessen because of some discouraged learners who did not make it to the registration, we continue encouraging them and share what the Lord has promised to those who follow his will and share the love of Christ to these people loosing hope. By the grace of God, learners numbers starts to increase once again and willing to continue the program and take the A&E Exam next year. Through this, our morning devotion before the class starts gets more exciting for them learning God’s word and promise to them. We continue praying for these learners not only be active in the ALS program but also reached out and bring them closer to Jesus Christ who gives hope and good future for those who follows Him.

Nutritional Seminar

Feeding Program is not just to teach and give nutrition for the children physically and spiritually but also to educate and give knowledge to their parents about good nutrition as well.

1st day of August, a seminar for the parents was conducted and facilitated by Health Center Nutritionist Francis and Airene. They entitled the seminar “Feeding Time!” confusing and questionable for the parents  at first and have no idea about this, they just know the word Feeding Time ( kainan na ) but the exact meaning of it was not. There are many question on their mind before the seminar started. But it ended when the facilitator start to explain it and give some ideas and knowledge on how is the proper and right way of preparing and giving nutritious food to the children based on their age range. Using visual aids that tell and show the importance of protein , vitamins, iron and when was a child ready for complementary feeding. It also emphasized the amount of food to be given to a child starting 6 to 12 months of age that can fitted to their small stomach. Through this teaching some of the parents realized that the importance of proper and right way of giving food specially to their younger children.

     From the catered children, we are giving praises to God from five malnourished children who gained their normal nourishment from months of undergoing the feeding program. From this is where it not ends but a new start for the children under normal nourishment and others who are continue gaining through the program of Food For Life through the help of our Lord Jesus Christ and prayers of people who continue helping and being part of God’s ministry. To God be all the glory!
