Day 252: Additional Summer Ideas for You

Beat the heat, it’s summer! Well, who knows which month in the year is summer, really? Hahahahah! Anyway, let us leave the SK Governance program in a moment and reminisce our SK's activity last summer of 2012. Let me share you a short photo blogpost about our last year’s “beating the heat” outreach.

Since all of us sometimes need a lift to produce ideas for our barangay Sangguniang Kabataan this post might come helpful.

In this outreach we have more than 800 children beneficiaries. Our 2012 Summer Outreach & Service (S.O.S.) ran for 7 days, evenly distributed within the months of summer. Our activities included clean-up drives to the four major roads in our barangay, and 5 purok centers where we placed stations to render service to the host purok and its neighbors. To God be all the glory, most, if not all, of the puroks in our barangay benefited from this help. (S.O.S., yeah?)

We tapped partners in this endeavor. They include Share An Opportunity (SAO) Philippines-Catalyst of Fatima, an NGO, the Purok Sangguniang Kabataan, a PO, a teacher from our local high school, and the Police.

The structure

We have so called “stations”. We operate on 5 stations, excluding our Regi-Station, or the registration table. The photos below will give you glimpse of these operations.

The naming of these things came to me just recently [like when I’m writing this?!].

So now, our S.O.S. includes the following:

Our Regi-Station. The officer was the President of SAO-Catalyst of Fatima then.

Garbage Segregation Station headed by PSK Officials.

Hand Washing Station. Is it just me or the
child's eyes is just so powerful?

That smile from the Story-telling Station.

You guessed it right! The Play Station.

Feeding Station with me :)

The yarn tied to the fingers or wrists of the children works two ways. One, it allows us to tract their activity in the center, that is, whether they have passed the necessary stations before the culminating Feeding Station. These stations gave the Feeding Outreach more value. And second, Ohhh! Aren't they just cute on those little hands?!

Any more words?

Well, none. Thank you for reading!
