Lawis Day Care

It's been a year since I visited Lawis Day Care Center in Roxas City. The last time I was here, the teacher had indicated they needed chalk and clay. One of the children's projects is shaping clay into various objects. But I didn't have any clay. I did have a pail of big colored chalk which was donated by Rosemary Driscoll. I gave this to the teacher along with color pencils and crayons.

Each of the three or four-year old kids received a notebook and pencil from Balay ni Charie. According to the teacher, the kids are learning to write their names. There are 2 sessions, one in the morning and one in the afternoon and around 40 kids come to the Center daily. I must remember to bring clay next time.

Balay ni Charie is now on its 7th year of "humanitarian" service to the Capiz community, thanks in large part to our generous donors.

Lawis Day Care Center, Roxas City

This is my first visit to a day care center. There are 48 children enrolled in two sessions at Lawis Day Care Center in Baybay, Roxas City - one in the morning and one in the afternoon.  The ages of the children range from 3 to 5 years old.  Balay ni Charie gave each of the kids notebooks and pencils. Some of the boys received white T shirts thanks to the generosity of Teresa Smith.  The center also  received crayons and plastic numbers and letters for use in class instruction.

The children in the center receive instruction in writing and they enjoy listening to their teacher's story telling. They also have creative projects using clay. There are two other day care centers in Baybay which I would like to visit on my next trip.
