Serving orphans and “street kids” growing up in poverty
Calvary University’s Intercultural Studies, Education, and TESOL studies programs are teaming up to provide a conversational English program at Cuatro Christian Academy in the Philippines in the summer of 2020!
Cuatro is part of Kids International Ministry (KIM), a dynamic, Gospel-centered ministry that has specialized in serving orphans and “street kids” growing up in the poverty stricken areas around Manila. Orphans, street-kids, and the children of Philippine believers study together in this unique environment nurtured by a committed Christian community.
Calvary faculty and staff recently visited KIM, stayed in their guest housing, and had the joy of interacting with Cuatro students at KIM’s orphan home. We are EXCITED to take KIM up on this opportunity to serve.
We will be working primarily with students in the upper grades. These students are taught in a dual-language environment, but need to have their conversation and pronunciation skills sharpened. Your involvement could be a step in helping these students have opportunities outside of high school that can lift them out of poverty. You will also have plenty of opportunity to interact with the children at the orphanage itself, as our group will provide devotionals and activities for these children as part of our service.
Our TESOL studies program at Calvary will be working with Cuatro to design the curriculum. If you are willing to be trained in how to effectively lead a conversation group, and to raise the necessary support, we would love to have you apply! Space will be limited to 12 total, with priority given to Education, TESOL studies and Intercultural Studies students.
