Volunteering in Tutoring

Mathew, Voluntier Appoġġ fit-Tagħlim għat-tfal (16-il sena)::  
​“Jiena student fl-ewwel sena tas-Sixth Form. Bħala parti mill-kurrikulu tas-Systems of Knowledge (S.O.K.) qalulna li rridu nagħmlu xogħol volontarju ma’ xi għaqda. Mill-ewwel kont naf li l-aħjar mod li nista’ ngħin lis-soċjetà huwa billi ngħin tfal li jsibu xi diffikultajiet f’suġġetti skolastiċi, peress li dawk huma affarijiet li qiegħed nistudjahom bħalissa.
L-ewwel darba li ġejt iċ-Ċentru Antida, ġejt milqugħ ħafna u mill-ewwel ħassejtni “at home”.  Għal sena, għint student ta’ 11-il sena fl-Ingliż u fil-kompjuters. Għallimtu xi affarijiet utli dwar ix-xogħol ta’ programmer. Jiena skantajt kif dik is-sgħa fil-ġimgħa tista’ tkun ta’ differenza għal min qed ngħin. Nirringrazzja lill-kulħadd fiċ-Ċentru Antida ta’ kull ma għenuni nagħmel, u kif urewni li, bi ftit sforz, kulħadd jista’ jkun ta’ għajnuna għall-ħaddieħor.”
Luke – it-tifel li jgħin Mathew: ​
​“Fiċ-Ċentru Antida jiena nieħu gost niġi, kemm biex nitgħallem u wkoll biex nagħmel ħbieb ġodda. Nagħmel crafts, tisjir, drama, qari, logħob u jkolli għajnuna biex nagħmel il-homework.  Kull ġimgħa, jgħinni Voluntier li għandu ħafna talenti. Hu ġeneruż u lili jgħinni fl-Ingliż u fil-kompjuter. Flimkien nagħmlu xi past papers, comprehensions, eżerċizzji tal-Ingliż u xi componimenti. Fl-aħħar parti tas-session, nużaw kompjuter taċ-Ċentru biex jgħallimni nużah għall-istudju. Nirringrazzja lill-Voluntier li jgħinni tal-paċenzja li jieħu bija u tal-ħin li jqatta’ miegħi.”
Miriam, Voluntiera Appoġġ fit-Tagħlim għat-tfal (36 sena): 
​“Għaddiet sena oħra ta’ ħidma volontarja. Hija esperjenza tassew speċjali li bi ħsiebni inkompli.  Jiena miżżewġa b’żewġt itfal u professjonista. Ma tantx nista’ noffri sigħat twal. Iddeċidejt li noffri siegħa u nofs fil-ġimgħa għax faċilment noħodha mill-familja. Bis-saħħa ta' din l-esperjenza ġdida, uliedi żgħar qed ikunu esposti għad-dinja tal-volontarjat ukoll. Billi ġieli ma jkollix ma’ min inħallihom, noħodhom miegħi.  Iż-żgħir joqgħod jilgħab u t-tifel l-ieħorjew jagħmel il-homework jew jgħini ngħin lit-tifel u tifla li jiena ngħin biex jagħmlu l-homework tagħhom.”
