Cararoo Newsletter May 2016 Kids' Newsletter

ARLENE TRINKLER OPERATIONS MANAGER What a fun it was, working with these children who helped out on our Cararoo Newsletter. They gave me such insight into how they live on a daily basis, how they have fun with their friends in school or simply just around their village. Sometimes I get to see them too on those days when they’re having fun with friends, including their Cararoo brothers and sisters. Carla, Angelica and especially Rowell are always there to help out with our reading program and to guide our younger Cararoo kids. At first I thought that working with kids was not really my thing, and to be honest I didn’t have a great talent to work with the little ones - until I was given an opportunity to work with the Cararoo Foundation and it became a privilege to work with them. These kids became like my own kids and it became my responsibility to help them follow their dreams. They taught me also how to value life and be thankful for whatever we have. Just seeing these kids smile and knowing they are happy for all the small things that you've given them, it also becomes your happiness. In this Issue: Manager’s report My Family Naging masaya ang aming pagsasama nila Carla, Angelica at Rowell sa pag gawa nitong aming newsletter. Itong mga bata na ito rin ang madalas tumulong sa aming “Reading Program”. Naging inspirasyon ko din ang kanilang pang araw-araw na buhay. Masaya na sila sa simpleng buhay na papasok sa eskwelahan, nakikipaglaro sa kaibigan kasama na pati ang kanilang mga kapatid sa Cararoo . Nong una ay isa ako sa mga walang pasensya sa mga maliliit na bata, pero sa bandang huli ay naramdaman ko na isa palang oportunidad ang makapag trabaho sa ganitong organisasyon, tinuring ko na aking mga anak at kapamilya ang mga batang ito, naging responsibilidad ko ang bigyan sila ng inspirasyon na ipagpatuloy at sikaping maabot ang kanilang pangarap sa buhay, pero binigyan din nila ako ng inspirasyon na bigyang halaga ang ating buhay na kung ano man ang meron tayo maliit man o malaki ay pahalagahan at magpasalamat sa lahat ng ating tinatamasa. Makita ko lang na nakangiti ang mga batang ito kapag binigyan mo sila ng kahit konting bagay ay isa na ring kasiyahan ang aking nararamdaman. - pg 2 - pgs 3 My Village - pg 4 & 5 Weekends /Holidays - pg 6 COO Report - pg 6 Schools - pgs 7 & 8 Cararoo - pg 9, 10, 11, 12 The Growlers - pg 13, 14 Photo Gallery - pg 15 Foundation Details - pg 16 Page 2 of 16
