Alabastro Selfless Love Group Leader #550 Loyola St., Obrero, Davao City Project Period: Maximum of 5 weeks Project Budget: P 3, 150.00 Project Status: New I. Title: Nurturing Holistic Growth through Values Education of PHDCCMintal Children II. Rationale: Project Hope Day Care Centre-Mintal is an institution that aims to aid the children of less fortunate residents of Mintal in their education and upbringing. The centre caters to, more or less, 120 children that are of different age brackets who are all attending the classes offered by the Day Care. They are sorted according to the level in which their age is appropriate, and attend classes according to allotted periods of the day to which they are scheduled. Having said this, the proponents have come up with certain issues regarding their current situation. First, there is the holistic growth of the students. With the time constraint that the center faces with each session they may have in a day, the instructors would have a tendency to hurry their lessons to follow the daily tasks they need to accomplish in a given period. It is because of this that some valid teachings may not be applied well. Second, there is the number of students in each class. The proponents appreciate the efforts the instructor exerts to do her job well. However, due to the constraints faced by the institution with regard to work force, time and facilities, it may be difficult on the side of the institution to main the standard of instruction that is expected of it. Consequently, the attention span and actualization of lessons learned (especially with regard to values) by the students may prove difficult given the aforementioned problems the institution faces. It is, therefore, with full hearts that the proponents wishes to propose the project (Nurturing Holistic Growth through Values Education of PHDCC-Mintal Children) in dire hopes of wanting to aide these children in their spiritual growth moral upbringing. The proponents also wish to give a fresh new perspective on their classroom environment as a place of not only academic excellence but also as a haven for values and holistic growth. Equipped with the proper attitude and outlook on these values, the proponents wish to hone the potentials of these children at a young age to, hopefully, become better people in the future. The various sessions that the proponents will be conducting would have inculcated into their minds a perspective in knowing the importance of these catechetical works and humanitarian duties; so that, they may gradually grow as better people with strong moral foundations. Thus, the proponents seek to complement the efforts of the people already around these children in weaving the moral fabric of their humanity. III.

Important Assumptions: There are several factors in which the success of the project is gravely contingent upon. First of, there is an issue regarding the participation of the parents’ association with the project. During the interview phase, the association heavily hinted the proponents that their priorities were more on the expansion of the institution itself than on the components of the institution (i.e. not only the structure but also the instructors and students). Although the proponents see a great importance in this as well, the group deems to find the value of structural infrastructure of lesser priority vis-à-vis the actual learning experience and growth of the children. Nevertheless, the group considers the participation of the association as a representative of the concerns of all parents as a critical artery of the project. Moreover, the proponents consider the side of the students. It may be well and good that the group, assuming without conceding, is successful at making and finishing the materials they may need for their class activities, but this may become problematic when they themselves choose not to participate during designated activities and programs made by the group for the proper utility of these said materials. Lastly, there are concerns with regard to the environment of the Day Care. The PHDCC venue is very much limited in terms of its capacity to hold a number of children that may be needed to fully utilize the newly equipped resources of PHDCC and the activities that the group has drafted for the children and the entire PHDCC community (on the Culmination Day). Having this constraint may, as well, limit the kind of learning that these students may have by not fully realizing the importance of the activities. VII. Project Management: This project is not only important for the proponents, but most especially to the community. Having said this, the proponents expect that the tasks will be executed properly. A part of any organization’s success in achieving any goal is efficiency in management. The proponents decided to delegate the work into specific tasks to appropriate members. The proponents created three committees that will focus on different areas of the project. First is the Finance Committee. This committee will be in charge of collecting the dues to the members. They should also properly account the expenses and see to it that it will not be too much for the group’s budget. Also, they are responsible in making sure that the groups maximizes its funds well to be able to given tokens at the end of implementation, in the event of excess money from the fund. Next is the logistics committee, which will be in charge of securing the materials to be used for the project. They are also responsible in checking the necessary materials needed in each of the group’s activities in each of the sessions to come. Finally, the Management and Documentation Committee’s duty is to handle the activities for the group’s actual project implementation. They will focus particularly on the tasks during specific activities after the making of materials and provide schemes in which to execute those activities efficiently. This committee is also responsible in documenting the highlights of the project through pictures, videos or documents.

Project Monitoring and Evaluation The project will have been successful if we are able to meet the following conditions: a.)

During the third and fourth day of the project implementation, the members of the group would have been able to teach the students how to use the different educational materials and gather lessons from them. d.) The group would have been able to discuss basic values and/or religious lessons to the students and to interact with them through games and group sharing during the third and fourth sessions of the project implementation. e.) That on the last day of project implementation, which will be on February 7, 2008, the group would have been able to organize a culminating activity involving the students, teachers and parents of PHDCC. a. The children would have been able to realize the importance of the activity in building better relationships among their peers and mentors. b. The teachers would have been able to see the potentials of nurturing their students with values education through proper guidance. c.
