Teacher Flor

In the Philippines our pre-school teacher is Teacher Flor. She is an excellent educator and the children just love her. I think they sense how much she cares about each and every one of them.

During the summer, Teacher Flor offers free tutoring to children who need help catching up before they enter the next grade level. She takes her responsibilities to the children very seriously. If a child arrives and is hungry, she'll find food for them. If a child misses classes, she'll check up on them to be certain they aren't sick or experiencing a family difficulty.

Honey is 7 years old, but she has never been to school. Fortunately this year she has found a sponsor and will be starting first grade in May. Teacher Flor has been working with her regularly to help her learn the basic skills she will need for entering school.

There was some concern that due to severe malnutrition learning might be hard for her, but hard work with Teacher Flor has paid off. After only several days she is learning her letters.

Here Honey receives a home visit for some extra tutoring.






Thank you to Teacher Flor for all she does for the children!
