The MJC free tuition programme was initiated by Irene Ng some nearly 7 years ago to help children from less privileged homes to cope with studies in school.
Today Louisa Wong and her team of teachers, Uncle Dunstan Lee and Teo Shiok Ngor carry on this wonderful ministry. This team comes together every Tuesday and Thursday to teach, mentor and provide an environment for the kids to do well in their studies. They initially started with around 25 children but have seen the numbers increase to around 60 or so kids! Every Tuesday and Thursday the children are driven from their housing area to the church. Currently we are looking for volunteer drivers as the number of children attending the Free Tuition Programme is increasing !
This Sat we had an " Open Day" to enable the parents ( mostly all mothers ! ) to visit the church . They were able to speak to the teachers and ask questions about their childrens 'progress. The session ended with a tea and a Handicraft session for the mothers! It was a great occassion to build relationships with the children and their mums !
