BEWARE (Because We Care) 2017 – We Share, We Care, Beware!



Volunteering is a noble job that can give a big difference for many people. We are giving a hand to the ones who lack in many aspects. An annual program held by ESP that gives a platform to help young children was recently held this year. This program is called BEWARE (Because We Care). This year, BEWARE was held on April 29th 2017 until May 1st 2017 at a village called Tumpakrejo.
With the theme of “Build a Brighter Future with ESP”, we chose one elementary school in Tumpakrejo that lacks proper education, especially in English, in hopes that the students can improve their English. The chosen school was SD Tumpakrejo 10 which only consists of 2 classrooms and 37 students. 1st grade only consists of 2 students, 2nd grade only consists of 12 students, 3rd grade only consists of 3 students, 4th grade consists of 7 students, 5th grade consists of 3 students, and 6th grade consists 10 students. Even though there are limited classrooms, facilities and small amount of students, their cheerfulness and eager to learn English with us never faded away throughout our visit at SD Tumpakrejo 10.

Day 1: Opening with Children's parents

Day 2: Morning Exercise! Let's move our body!

Day 2: 6th graders were preparing for the exam! you can do it guys!

Day 2: Let's learn and sing together!

Day 2: Who wants to answer the question??
One the first day of our arrival, we prepared an opening ceremony for the students and parents of that village. We invited a speaker (Zahwa Aisah) to explain the importance of education for children. Fortunately they welcomed us with open arms and were very excited for the next day to begin. The teaching began on our 2nd day there. Lessons were delivered by our Educators Team, who prepared themselves to give the best materials to the students. The Educators were divided based on the grade of the students and the other committees were allowed to join. Each classroom was filled with joy and the students payed attention well throughout the class. Classes started from the morning until late afternoon with a break in the middle. Classes continued on during our 3rd day at SD Tumpakrejo 10. Since it was our last day at the elementary school, the students prepared a performance for us. They sang a few songs. The students also wrote down on a piece of paper their hopes, messages, and impressions about BEWARE 2017. In the end, we had a photo session with the whole committee and students. This indicated the end of BEWARE 2017.
Last Day: Preparing for the 'show'.. so exciting!

Last Day: Please pay attention to us, we'll give you a great performance!

Last day: We do hope you'll love the present!

The students of SD Tumpakrejo 10 are very sweet and we hope their high spirit to learn will never wither away. Thank you for the warm welcome and for the great experience. ESP wishes the best for SD Tumpakrejo 10!
