In the next year of the Jesan Center we would like to do more. Here are our June 2013-June2014 goals:
- Start drop-in center for street children of the Country Mall area
- Open drop-in center 3 days a week and provide dinner and snacks for each child
- Start obtaining our Non-Profit status
- Put 2 boys in school
In our new year we will be putting the tutorial program on hold and are going to focus on the drop-in center. Although we LOVED the tutor program, and eagerly await its return, we sadly do not have the funds, time, means, resources or NGO status to continue the program at this time. We hope to start it up again after we are officially a Non-Profit. The purpose of the drop-in center is to allow the kids a safe place to spend the mornings and afternoons 3 days a week away from the harsh realities of street life. The kids will participate in activities such as crafts, educational games, movies, and bible studies. The Jesan Center will also provide a meal for each child during this time as well as snacks.
In order to have a successful program a few things need to happen first:
- The Jesan Center needs to relocate to a larger facility by May 1st.
- We need a few hundred dollars more a month in order to afford the higher rent and to provide for the meals and activities
- The Jesan Center needs people volunteers here in Cebu and State side.
If you are interested in partnering with the Jesan Center and be apart of its success please contact Caidy or Ronald Quilaton.
We love you all. Thank you for the prayers, words of encouragement and love.
