PRAYER
Following Ms. Danna's inspirational address, the atmosphere
was further enriched by the Opening Prayer led by Ms. Bianca
for the 1st batch and Mr. Carlo Joshua for the 2nd batch of
students. Their heartfelt invocation set a spiritual
foundation for the day, seeking guidance and blessings for the
collective endeavor ahead. The prayer resonated with a sense
of unity, acknowledging the diverse talents and backgrounds
contributing to the success of the "Empowering Futures"
Outreach Program.
As the words of the prayer echoed through the venue, it
reinforced the shared commitment and purpose that enveloped
the participants. The combination of Danna's empowering
message and the Opening Prayer by Ms. Bianca and Mr. Carlo
Joshua not only marked the beginning of the program but also
ignited a collective spirit that would fuel the day's
activities with a sense of purpose, community, and shared
responsibility.
Short Story
After the Opening Prayer, the program seamlessly transitioned
into a captivating Storytelling session, with Ms. Bianca
leading a visual exploration of the Filipino tale of Langgam
and Tipaklong. Instead of merely narrating, Ms. Bianca treated
the audience to a short film, artfully conveying the timeless
lesson of perseverance and collaboration through this age-old
fable.
In the heartwarming story, Langgam (ant) and Tipaklong
(grasshopper) faced adversity, each leveraging their unique
strengths. By presenting the tale as a short film, Ms. Bianca
seamlessly connected it to real-life situations, drawing
parallels to the challenges students might encounter in their
educational journey. The visual storytelling served as a
powerful metaphor, highlighting the significance of
collaboration, determination, and mutual support—values that
align with the core principles of education and community
engagement.
Ms. Bianca's decision to present the story through a short film not only added a delightful and entertaining dimension to the event but also instilled a deep sense of commitment among the audience. It made everyone more dedicated to the cause of empowering the students at Dr. Jose Tamayo Memorial Elementary School, fostering a collective spirit of togetherness and understanding. This innovative approach set a poignant stage for the day, paving the way for activities centered around empowerment, encouragement, and meaningful community engagement.
Moral of the Story
After Ms. Bianca shared the interesting tale of Langgam and
Tipaklong, Ms. Keith for the 1st batch and Mr. Carlo Joshua
for the 2nd batch stepped forward to explain the important
lesson from the story. The moral of Langgam and Tipaklong is
like a timeless guide that says, "Save your money and plan for
the future." It's all about being smart with what you have.
The story teaches us to work hard and save, just like the ant
did, especially when things are going well, so that when tough
times come, we have something to rely on.
Ms. Keith also pointed out the importance of using our time
wisely and doing things that matter early on. She stressed how
these simple habits help build a strong foundation for the
future. This lesson fits perfectly with our goal
today–to support, encourage, and make a positive impact
in our community. It's about being smart with our resources
and time so that we can help ourselves and others in the long
run
