I won't give up on us - Peace and Love

Thank You GlobalGiving
Hello,
For our SDC children, during the end of this year, the individual development program focuses mainly on peace, order, respect, discipline, love and self love ...
We had the objectif to develop their creative talents and skills and provide an avenue for self-expression, by creating an environment that influences positive thinking, brighter outlook and enkindle more hope in their live.
In order to do so, we've invited The Boy Scouts of the Philippines to imbue the youth with the love of God, their country and of their fellowmen; to teach them as young people how to become responsible leaders and how to contribute to nation-building. Every week, a different chaptered representative came and work those characteristics out with them by doing activities around nurturing and environmental protection. They were taught how to be a leader, taking the confidence of themselves so they can face any challenges and keep giving the best of everything.
There are also outdoor activities and challenges based on basic life support learning, the purpose is to give children to get empowered and become productive and self-reliant as agents of peace.
Our regular International groups (Japanese and French) kindly keep on sharing about essential basic as good manners, personal hygienes. Believe it or not widening their general culture knowledge in geography, world languages and culture exchanges makes them better person you can talk to.
Sport is still a fundamental of our for personal progress work, so they were given Capoeira, Volleyball and Football personal training with a coach and we have been insisting on discipline rules and how to try to surpass themselves ... always. Nothing is in vain.
We believe also that developing fundamental skills can have deeper impact if we bring them along with artistic approaches, so we came up with an organized and productive Show for Peace. The children were doing amazing interpretative poetry reading, by heart recitation and interpretation please !. Then a Rap debate was so meaningful and heartfelt, every children was writing to express on how they'd like or could exit the SDC for a better place ... We know you have to fly by your own one day.
A creation of a micro livelihood project by having children learning on how to make bracelet and teach them basic entrepreneurial skill as determination of pricing, procurement, basic accounting, inventory list, etc… They found a way to market their own “Love bracelet” branding ... good job guys. Do you want to buy one?
In that seasons of celebrations, the spirit of Christmas was of course not forgotten. All the children was so excited and happy to make their Christmas decorating creations… In addition of some painting being done around the center, the children enjoyed making paper ornamentations and a cardboard Christmas tree and even some angels models were made with recycling items from the center
Finally, many local groups came to SDC to share Christmas party with the children ... we did games, shared food, to give and receive love ... to light up their deep feeling of being abandoned. Santa clause even came on the 25th to give them personal gift, and make everyone felt loved ...I won't give up on us ...
'Cause even the stars they burn
Some even fall to the earth
We've got a lot to learn
God knows we're worth it
No, I won't give up on us'
Thank you everyone again for your generous support and patronage and on behalf of the children and the volunteers we wish you and your family all the best for this new year and beyond ...
