Itik-Itik, ito and aming napiling sayaw.....^_^

Ito background ng aming presentasyon:

Itik-itik is a mimetic folk dance in The Philippines. It originated in the province of Surigao in Mindanao.

In Itik-itik (from the Tagalog word for "duck"), the dance steps imitate the movements of ducks among rice paddies and swamplands, such as wading, flying, and short, choppy steps.

Itik-itik's current form originated in the Philippine towns of Carrascal, Cantilan, Lanuza, and Carmen, all in Surigao del Sur.

Other versions of the dance do exist, although the Itik-itik Surigaonon remains the most pipular. These alternate versions are found inVisayas, Samar, Sibonga, Cebu, and Tibiao.

May 2010 “Jesus Christ Ambassador”

May, 2010, the “finding of the cross” that was done during the last evening of the camp, made a mark of the year’s camp. The kids were being blind folded and were tasked to find their way towards the cross. Some of the counselors were making some distractions along the way while the kids were looking for the right path. In the end, some of them weren’t able to reach their destination while some successfully reach it. Before the activity, the counselors asked for a thing that they treasured most and put it in a box. As they reach the “cross” the counselors burned the box, which the kids thought it contained their belongings. There were different reactions then. Some of them were so sad and disappointed, while the others just tried to accept that it’s time to let go of it. In the morning we slowly put out some of their belongings. They were surprised to find out that it wasn’t really burned.

It may be hard to let go, especially the things or people that you treasured the most but in following Christ one will soon discover that it is worth letting go for something greater is waiting ahead.

April 2008 “Shine For Jesus”

Marichu Lindongan- UHWI volunteer teacher was acting
as a person searching for the light (Jesus Christ).

April 11, 2008, this is the very first time that UHWI conducted a Summer Kids Camp. One of the highlight of this activity was when some of the counselors made a short dramatic act about a person’s journey towards Christ. The drama ended with the actress being able to find the light. It was then that the children started to light their own candles. The place was really totally dark but when the candles were all lighted up it was truly a wonderful thing to see. The place was filled with brightness and the kids then started to sing the camp’s theme song “Shine Jesus Shine”. Their voices were like angels singing in such a magnificent night.

My Greatest Teacher by Marita Necosia Lindongan

Everybody can be great because everybody can serve. You Don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

               Teaching Children really needs patience and dedication. Children at Crossing Bae are just ordinary but their hearts are really hunger in God's word. Every Saturday 9 A.M. our class will start. The leaders will fetch their playmates and neighboorhood children and bring them all to our meeting place under the mango tree. 30 or more kids are present every Saturday.
               I really Thank God for the protection He is giving to us. We dont have any classroom or any house where we can held our Good News class, we only have a mango tree and it's shade to protect us against the heat of the sun and ofcourse God with us.
               My Students are very eager to listen, sing Praises/ Action songs and each of them have their own assigned day for opening/ closing prayer.Every last Saturday of the month we also have games with simple prizes.
               I am really happy that I am one of the volunteer teacher's in UHWI. Love for the Children means a lot, Love for God who created those kids is very important for one to continue doing God's Ministry for Children. Even though I am not a Professional Teacher. A heart full of Love really matters. Maybe a degree in teaching is not so important in this field because God will teach you how to teach those kids that He love's best.
              I am a Teacher, a keeper of Faith and I thank God for it everyday.
