07/14/13:   Update:   There are 36 students attending pre-K school in Upper Javier this school year.    Remember:  in the Philippines the school year starts in June!  This is an increase of 10 students from last year's attendance of 26 students.  It is wonderful to have the increase of students. 

Note, due to the increased number of students, the supplemental feeding program, which St Stephens UMC supports, is stretched to schedule for twice weekly.  Last year the weekly feeding program was scheduled three times weekly due to the smaller group.   

God bless the Mothers of Upper Javier who volunteer to prepare and cook the food for the feeding program. 

Also, God bless Olive, Upper Javier's pre-K school teacher, & teacher's assistant (unnamed), for their ongoing commitment, undying effort, high energy, and love for the little ones. 

Education is our most valuable tool for a brighter tomorrow!
