of the destitute children where their basic needs like food, clothes, and education were
provided for free.

 CHAPTER III

JK: JOY FOR KIDS

Summary of the program

‘JK: Joy for Kids’ was a program under the subject ‘Inquiries, Investigation, &
Immersion’ and a requirement for the completion of grade 12.
Under the direction of Mark Franco L. Lagno the program was created as part of our
work immersion, or on-the-job-training at the Children’s Joy Foundation Inc.
The temporary shelter had a list of approved services that the program would have to
fall under which were:

 Social Services – this service is to help the children socialize with each other and
others
 Educational Services – this service is to teach the children, and help mold their
minds
 Home-Life Services – this service is to check the children’s health and health
routine

Under the supervision of Ms. Daisy Valenzuela, and the approved services of the
foundation, JK: Joy for Kids was created as a program not only fall under the services but
to be a fun program.
The term ‘Joy for Kids’ was the ideal program name, but after much though the
additional initials ‘JK’ were added for self-interpretation as the initials of the program, or
‘Just Kidding’ to give the program a lighter touch.
The program activities official lasted 4 days with 3 days of inquiring and preparing. The
activities were the following:

 Getting to Know You [social service]

 Thank You Card [social service]
 Spelling Bee [educational service]
 Pinoy Henyo [educational service]
 Larong Kalye [educational service]
  First Aid [educational service]

 GROUP JOURNALS

Day 1 – Helping the Staff

Listening to our short briefing.

Our group arrived a few minutes before 9:00, the said appointment, and at CJFI we were
met by Ms. Ann who gave us a brief introduction of foundation and explained that our
orientation would begin the next day (February 13), as our supervisor, and center head, Ms.
Daisy Valenzuela had just arrived from the Pampanga shelter; Ms. Ann continued to
explain that we would just help the staff that day with needed office work and decorative
work.

Cutting ceiling decorations (or ‘banderitas’).

The group was later dived; six remained to create the new ceiling decorations in the
shelter’s Activity area, while four were assigned to the Receiving area to complete office
work that was assigned (i.e. attaching receipts to long bond paper in preparation for
printing).
After our lunch break, the four were regrouped back at the Activity area to complete the
ceiling decorations and finished until 4:00, where Ms. Daisy Valenzuela gave us an early
dismissal.
Day 2 – Orientation and Planning

The day began half-past eight when we began to arrive at the foundation, the orientation
followed a quarter-past ten, as the Ms. Daisy Valenzuela arrived two hours after us.
Ms. Daisy Valenzuela, the QC center head, gave a bit of background concerning
Children’s Joy Foundation Inc. She explained that the main office was in Davao and there
were other shelters in Mindanao, Visayas, and Luzon. She further explained the technical
side of CJFI, the licensing with DSWD, the type of organization CJFI was, the amount of
children, and the staff. The last part of the orientation was a quick tour of the shelter.
 Us trainees having a tour of the foundation.

At the end of the orientation Ms. Daisy gave us our ‘assignment’, to make our plans for
our activities with the children, under the purpose of Social, Educational, and Home-Life
Services; another ‘assignment’ was to get to know one of the children, evaluate the child,
how attentive they were during the program(s), what they did when they woke up, favorite
activity, and the like.
The day ended when we had our activities ‘Getting to know You’ and ‘Thank You
Card’ planned out and ready for the next day, during Valentine’s day.

Day 3 – Activities: Getting to Know You/Thank You card/Spelling Bee

The first half of the day was uneventful, as Ms. Carol (of admissions) asked for the help
of two boys (Jotham and Kevin) with office work.
Lunch passed by and we fixed the ceiling decoration one last time, just as the children
started to arrive from their school. The children slept for approximately an hour before we
prepared for our activities that day: ‘Getting to know You’ and ‘Thank You Card’.
We warmed the children up with a bit of stretching, before introducing ourselves one by
one. We followed with a quick game of getting to know the kids.
 One of the children explains his answer in choosing his favorite things.

First we had a trainee on a chair holding letters, A, B, and C; then we asked the children
a series of questions. What was their favorite color, subject, etc. After the game we
proceeded to making a thank you card. Many made it for their house-parents who they
gave it to afterwards.
We had an impromptu spelling bee, with the children enthusiastically participating in.
We ended the activity with us recounting who we were and what we did (the activities, and
the lessons we learned from them

Day 4 – Planning for Future activities

Ms. Daisy, the day before, had informed us not to go to work due to the absence of the
children from the shelter (whole day practice in Sauyo).
Instead she suggested that we take our planning for the future programs of Inquiries,
Investigations, & Immersion (I.I.I.) and Community Engagement (Com. E.) elsewhere
(AMA), which led us, to our second ‘seminar’ at the guidance office of AMA University
by midday.
 Planning for future activities based on the schedule of the children.

By afternoon, we trainees met to discuss the future plans and activities for the two
subjects (I.I.I. & Com. E.).

Day 5 – Activities: Pinoy Henyo/Larong Kalye

One of the children guesses the name ‘Mama Daisy’.

 With the first day of the week, we had our activities ready, ‘Pinoy Henyo’ and ‘Larong
Kalye’ (games depended on what the children would want); but meanwhile we had to wait
until after lunchtime to begin (the children would only begin to arrive).
After their nap time, we began with getting the children to warm up with dancing, led by
Donnalyn Paguirigan; we continued and proceeded with ‘Pinoy Henyo’. The children each
a turn of guessing and answering, we requested permission and moved out of the shelter
into the street.

Randomly picking sides for our different games of ‘Larong Kalye’.

We played a series of ‘Larong Kalye’, which began with ‘Patintero’ and for a while
‘Tayahan’ and we ended with ‘Ice, Ice, Water’.

Day 6 – Activities: First Aid/Hygiene Check/Case Conference

Application of First Aid triangle bandage.

 With the second day of the week, we began the afternoon activities with a quick lesson
of First Aid with the use of handkerchiefs as a makeshift triangle bandage and an elastic
bandage.
We continued with an inspection of each of the children’s closet, their tidiness and
cleanliness, the children’s laundry baskets and toiletries.

Case Conference between the Center Head, House-Parents, Trainees, and Children.

Although not part of JK: Joy for Kids (yet the last event for day #6 was connected with
our program) the Case Conference included the trainees, the children, Ms. Daisy
Valenzuela (center head), and three House-parents. In the conference itself, we evaluated
each child based of their attentiveness during our activities/program, their willingness to
learn, and their general health.
Day 7 – Activities: Food Preparation/Party

Preparing food for the party.

 With the beginning of the day, we gathered the needed food for preparation and by
midday we were preparing the food for the afternoon party. The food prepared was an
assorted amount of street foods, as requested by the children. A ‘pabitin’ was also hung up
with prizes attached to the structure.
The party began late afternoon, with an assorted amount of games for the children.
While eating, the children had a surprise for us, which included them dancing and
singing for us.
We ended the day with giving our personal gifts to each of our assigned children.
Through tears and hugs, we said goodbye, promising to return once in a while to visit the
children.

CHAPTER V
OVERVIEW OF THE
PROGRAM JK: JOY
FOR KIDS

The Program and the Children

‘JK: Joy for Kids’ was the implemented program under the subject Inquiries,
Investigation, & Immersion.
Part of the program required us to interact with the children from many different
backgrounds and past times. However the program itself generalizes different activities
that the children (and the foundation staff) may benefit from.
The program had objectives that were accomplished not only through activities but also
through small interactions with children (and the staff).
 The first objective ‘Get to know the children’ was the most accomplished objective as
we interacted with the children throughout the duration of our program. Activities may
have been the highlight of the program however the trainees got to know the children
before they went to nap or after they ate their meals.
With ‘Help the staff’ the objective was reached as house-parents requested our help
through various events, such as fixing decorations, office work, bringing the children from
the foundation to school, and fetching them from school to bring them back to the
foundation.
‘Check their hygiene’ it was a requirement of the Foundation (under Home-Life
services) and the way the children fixed their belongings (clothes, toys, toiletries, etc.) it
was included as report for the Center head in our Case Conference, another activity where
we got to know the children (as the house-parents and supervisor explained the children’s
behavior in school and in the foundation).
‘Conduct thinking activities and physical exercises’ and ‘Teach the children’ were the
two similar activities of the program, to let challenge the children in thinking and doing
which were achieved through most of our activities that included the children.
In summary, what was achieved by the program of JK: Joy for Kids? Did the children
have ‘joy’? Yes, a little bit of happiness.
Through the many activities the trainees could see that the children anticipated the
activities that were prepared for them, the children were excited with what was made just
for them. However the ‘joy’ of the kids seemed to be expressed even without the activities
planned.
 CHAPTER VI

MY REFLECTIVE
JOURNALS

The Children’s Joy Foundation Inc.

The Children’s Joy Foundation is a non-profit organization and it was born in June 1998
out of Pastor Apollo C. Quiboloy, to reach out to the destitute Filipino.
 The first CJFI residential care home for children was established in Davao City. The
center initially accommodated beneficiaries who were abandoned, neglected or orphaned.
It became the temporary home of the destitute children where their basic needs like
food, clothes, and education were provided for free.
The shelter accepted the ranges from 6-18 years old. CJFI is also accredited by DSWD.
The Children's Joy Foundation Inc. strongly advocated the protection of children not only
because of existing laws but also because it is every child's right to be protected and cared
for.
It is the society's innate responsibility to give every child the opportunity to lead a good
life as a responsible and productive individual in the community.
There’s a House-Parent who’s in charge of the psychological, educational, social and
home-life services of the foundation .CJFI has been providing care and support to children
and youth needing rehabilitative and developmental services.

The Learners

The children at the shelter ranged from 6-18 years old. Some of them were elementary
and the rest were high school.
 All of them had an assigned task every day.
They spent five days at school and two days at the shelter or going out with the staff.
They have a time table that can be their guide in their task.
Some of them were good in playing banduria, guitar, and other musical instruments.
Having those talents were the reasons why some people connected with the foundation,
also why some of well-known places like malls and restaurants had invited them to do a
performance; and they performed well and their songs really had a soft touch to the heart.

Me as a Teacher

When I met the children for the first time, I thought they would snob us. But when I
tried to introduce myself they sincerely listened like they found a new friend again.
I want to be motivational, and I want children to enjoy learning. I want to find ways to
make learning fun and meaningful. I want children to learn how all aspects of learning
have practical implications, even if they are not readily apparent. I want to always be
surprised by my children.I tried my best to have a long patience because of her sense of
moodyness.

Me and My Learner

The first time that I met Abigail, I thought she would ignore me because she didn't know
me, Abigail is moody person but i try to be patient.Abigail is have a sister in foundation.
 She calls me ‘Budith’ Abigail is 11 years old. She is the second youngest among the
children in the shelter.
Although she couldn’t read, I observed that she always tried and she loves to eat best
just to join to our activities.
She is in now Grade 3 in Toro Hills Elementary School .

JK: Joy for Kids a Learning Support

JK: Joy for Kids was a program under Inquiries, Investigations, and Immersion. The
services of the program were approved by CJFI.
With the program in mind, we needed to know who the people in the shelter were, and
the other needs of the children. We made some activities that are very useful to their
studies and also for them.
Aside from what they can learn from the activities, they could also enjoy it, that’s why
we approached our activities in a playful way.
Cooperation and Creativeness were the characteristics that they built through the
activities that we made for them. We also want them to socialize well to one another as
well the staff of the shelter.

The Foundation as a Character Leadership Program

 The Children’s Joy Foundation wanted the children to build themselves well, especially
to be a good person.
Aside from the home-life tasks that they assigned to every child they also want them to
teach them how to live independently.
The foundation wanted to teach the children that even if they were neglected or
abandoned they could manage themselves and be a good leader to others like being fair and
showing respect to other people’s lives.

An Innovative Individual

Being an innovative individual is a good trait that one person should have. It is a way of
introducing new methods or ideas.
Sometimes it's very useful; especially in the times when a clever person is needed.
Having these characteristic can make a person mostly proud, even in a simple thing an
innovative individual can think of other ideas from it.
Innovative is also Creativeness. It is like a tactic that can be done in any form of the
easiest way.

The Foundation as a Moral, Spiritual, and Social Molder

 CJFI is not just a shelter. It is also a foundation that teaches the children how to be a
good person.
In the shelter I saw their time table, and there was a slot for devotional time where the
children take some time for a praying session.
The shelter is founded by a Apollo Quiboloy, that’s why they also build up the spiritual
aspect of the children.
The shelter also taught the children how to be nice to others people. CJFI is a moral,
spiritual and social molder for the children who are neglected and abandoned by their
parents.

The Foundation as my Learning Ground

As a volunteer, I also used the foundation as my learning ground. I realize that it took a
little time to get a child’s trust especially to the persons that he/she met in the first time.
I observed in the shelter that even though they were not related to each other, the way
they treated each other was just like a family. They had a strong foundation that couldn’t
be broken by anyone.And the foundation is have a good intentions to all the children’s who
entered.

Me as a Ladder towards Learning

 I used myself as a ladder so I could help the children in the shelter, especially on the
things that they knew or what they wanted to know.
I used my expertise in a way to help them to reach their goals. Sharing my knowledge
and giving them moral support were the best things that I can give to help them. It’s not
expensive nor is it priceless, but it is a big help to them so they can be inspired to live more
and believe in the talents and skills that they have.
