Scholars Leading Scholars

 

Nerissa and I are so thankful that on a day that neither of us were present, our two college scholars stepped up to lead our high school scholars' huddle and tutorial.

Marben taught Math during tutorial and Jovy helped facilitate the huddle and handle the week's reimbursements.  

I had to leave immediately after our fellowship so I could catch up with the Albay Art Foundation's mentally invigorating Meet, Greet and Talk Back with museum curator Marian Pastor-Roces.

Then we fetched Nerissa at the airport.  She was arriving early evening from helping facilitate an inclusive mental health and psychosocial services capacity building training for typhoon Tino survivors in Cebu.

We wouldn't have managed that day without our two college scholars' help.  These two are already practice teaching and will graduate this school year.   So, it's been 4 years since we took the step of faith to commit supporting them through college.  

Our scholarship program with GAiN-Tiwala is for high school scholars only.  When the two graduated from Senior High School, Nerissa and I wanted to help them through college even with our meager resources.  Then God amazingly led a friend to commit to help these two through four years in college.   And here they are now, paying it forward.  We have also been using other financial help from other friends to help one third year college student. 

We will have more high school graduates soon and there are still other members of our fellowship who are now in college whom we earnestly want to help.  If you want to be a part of giving deserving young people a better future, you may message me or Nerissa for more details.

Thank you and may God continue to richly bless and keep you!
