06/13/13 Evening:   The evening was spent clarifying my schedule of volunteer activities: 
- On Monday & Friday mornings (8-Noon):   I will conduct a one-on-one ESL session with a Japanese student.  Student’s name is “Kota”, 17 years old.   Kota loves to sing per his mother.  In addition to  the ESL syllabus developed by the College, 
I am thinking that music may be a useful tool in teaching Kota.  He is currently at Pre-K level of understanding & speaking English as a second language.  Kota desires to learn English in order to write music.  The ESL sessions start Monday 6/17.
- On Tuesdays, Wednesdays, & Thursdays (7:30 – 4:00pm):  I will assist Upper Javier women with the feeding program for Pre-K children.  The feeding, 3 times weekly, supplements their  meal.  I will also attend Pre-K school when available in afternoon.  Pre-K 1 class for 4 year olds is held in the morning from 8-11:30, and Pre-K 2 class for 5 year olds from 1-5pm.   It will be interesting to learn the logistics for the feeding program, ie food purchase & cooking preparation. 
- On Tuesdays & Thursdays (6 - 7:30 pm):  I will audit the Tagalog-1 Language class in order to learn the native language fundamentals.   I look forward to this class starting on Tuesday 6/18.
