Mansgold Children Embrace PaCEF's Values Education...

One of the challenging tasks I had last year in my professional life was to organize the Values Education program for Pampanga Children's Education Fund (PaCEF) in Mansgold Elementary School in Sta. Lucia, City of San Fernando, Pampanga. Well, I can't believe that the PaCEF scholars have two remaining months before the academic year ends. How time flies indeed.

As I try to recall how we started, I can say that it was not easy at all to develop and implement a program that nurtures the values we have as Filipinos. There was a need to network and collaborate with DepEd, Mansgold Elementary School and Mary the Queen College.  After some arrangements were made by the PaCEF President Dr. Roque with these institutions, Values Ed in Mansgold finally evolved.

Thanks to PaCEF  for its endeavor in inculcating value system to the school children that includes virtues like self-reliance, integrity, moral sensitivity, respect, creativity, discipline, love of country, love for truth (honesty) and commitment to serve God and humanity. These values have to thrive and should not be eroded as time passes.

Absolutely, with the implementation of the  project, a challenge was posted to the PaCEF group...to support and address a gamut of problems that results from misconduct and misbehavior of the schoolchildren nowadays. Well, PaCEF has responded to this call to action and challenge.  I believe that somehow through the project, it has impacted the lives of the children in Mansgold Elementary School.

I have thought of sharing some pictures that have captured some moments.

Mansgold Kids fall in line for an activity...

The scholars do not only teach Values...they also feed them. 

Teaching the non-readers how to read.

Through a game the values of camaraderie and sportsmanship are developed.

                                     

                   Kids enthusiastically raise their hands for a reading activity.
 They just need to be motivated in order to be interested to learn how to read.

             The scholars and some of the kids after their class...so happy together.

It was a challenge for Che to work towards building positive relationships with the kids.

 PaCEF receives DepEd's Certificate of Appreciation...Many thanks to all the scholars for the hard work     and commitment to Values Education...A huge thanks also to PaCEF and to all the benefactors and sponsors.

                                Just being cool with the Girls after the meeting...


I can say that the year was a success and with the remaining months, I know in my heart that the PaCEF scholars have made a difference in the lives of the children. I am certainly humbled of this achievement and proud to be a part of the Values Education program.

As I end, I express my sincerest gratitude to PaCEF, to the supporters and sponsors of PaCEF, to DepEd, Mansgold Elementary School faculty and employees, Ma'am Alice, the Principal, all the pupils and of course, to the PaCEF scholars for their commitment and effort.  THANKS everyone and GOD bless us all for this noble endeavor!
