We are learning English!!!
The Educational Skills Development programme is our latest effort to empower children and youth through education in Montalban. After two years of providing financial assistance for the children to attend school, we found some children lacking behind academically due to various deficits in their basic educational skills with English as a major difficulty for most.
In May 2009, we started our English Tutorial with 2 groups of children currently receiving educational sponsorship. Held once a week, the tutorial focuses on improving oral English and reading comprehension- two key elements of the language in which the children fare poorly. The children are encouraged to practice their oral English through a variety of activities, games and story telling sessions. Our hope is that through the tutorial, education, the children will receive the basic foundations necessary to fulfill the heights of their ambitions.
