It was a lovely day in Mano Amiga as the kindergarten wore
their graduation robes and caps. Each of them came with their sweet smiles as
they all shared their achievements with their parents.
The year has passed by with meaningful learnings. Most of the
kids started the school year not knowing how to read or write a single
word but they have developed in such a way that they now read to their
parents, to themselves and to their playmates.
The day started with a prayer led by Father Michael Shannon,
LC to
thank the goodness of the Lord for all his blessings and to
continue to
guide these little ones to grow and become compassionate
individuals.
The kids eagerly listened to President Jun Alvendia as he
opened the program with the message of humility from the Pope. They were all
reminded that in everything they do, they should not forget to thank the Lord
in prayer, never forget the poor and that what matters in life are our family
and our faith.
The students were all so excited as they were called one by
one to receive their diplomas along with their proud parents.
They all sang their graduation song, I believe I can fly as
though they were a bunch of little angels serenading the crowd.
The program was closed by Mano Amiga's Institutional Development Manager, Grace Cadenilla by reminding them not to stop dreaming, to keep nurturing their imagination and not forget to look back and help ease the strife of those in need.
It was not only a day to recognize the success of the children but also the great effort of our teachers and our principal for going above and beyond in teaching our students. There students are the proof of their hard work.
Kindergarten is over and the next years will be just as
special.
