A
Christmas party for the tutees of Cornerstone Inuman Elementary School was
sponsored by SMHS IV – Einstein Batch ’93 last Saturday December 6, 2014.
The excitement for the Christmas
party started when ate Tin and kuya Cons – the team leaders asked the tutees to
write down their Christmas wishes. Some wished for simple things a kid would
want, new shoes, bags, toys, and food for their Noche Buena. The all time
favorite spaghetti was popular among the kid’s list. Some wished like how an adult
person would wish. They were straight forward on what their family need like a house
and lot and a swimming pool.
When Ms. Wena’s team arrived the
kids were curious on what was going to happen. Perhaps, they got suspicious
when none of the YFC (Youth For Christ) members arrived. Before we have the
tutorials they have a session with YFC for Values Formation. Also, they were in
a different room. They were making an excuse to go to the comfort room even
though they really don’t need to pee. They gave me that puppy look, “Mag CR po ako” (I need to go to the
comfort room).
According to Ms. Wena, SMHS IV –
Einstein Batch ’93 , have been doing an outreach program for more than a year
now. They were happy to share their blessings to others especially to the kids.
The tutees were clearly excited when
they entered the room that was prepared for the Christmas party. Each of them was
given a party hat and a name tag. I was convinced that they read the Christmas
wish made by the tutees because the gifts were wrapped with an individual gift
card bearing the name of the tutees. They were in different sizes too. I wonder
what they give for the tutees that asked for house and lot.
It started with a prayer lead
by one of the tutees. There were games and a magic show performed by a clown.
The games were: 1. Bring Me, 2. Pass the gift (As per my understanding on how
the game was played). 3. Say Merry Christmas without Breathing. The tutees were
entertained by the tricks that were showed by the clown who insisted that he is
John Loyd Cruz but the tutees did not agree with him. J J
Special prizes were given to
the Top Ten tutees, Most Perfect Attendance, Most Neat, and for Julian for his
perseverance and determination. I nominated Jullian for his award because
whenever he is called to stand up and asked to read he never said he can’t even
though we know that he find it difficult to read. He never complains that he
cannot do a certain thing. He always tries unlike other kids (tutees).
As usual Regie Boy, one of
the three the kid that I am tutoring, was a favorite during the party. Regie
let his charm work. He participated in the game Say Merry Christmas without
Breathing. (In case you did not know it’s like this, Merry Christmaaaaaaass!
You say the word Merry Christmas without breathing. The one who says it the longest
will be declared as the winner). Regie did not win since he only did it for six
seconds. The person he is supposed to beat holds a record of thirteen seconds.
But he got the same award same as the winner. Haha.
Last December sixth a
meaningful event happened. That is why I can’t help to take photos.
Big hug after the sponsors
received the thank you card from the tutees.

Like Lorenz, the tutees received
a lot of gifts too.
This is Julian receiving his gifts.
Regie Boy stopped for a quick
photo. The person with him is also named Regie.

prizes during the event.
Again, in behalf of the Cornerstone Inuman team together with the tutees, we would like to thank SMHS IV – Einstein Batch ’93 for the resources, time, and love that you have shared.
