Hebron EduCARE Center was established early on August 2005. It offers an educational outreach platform – a church-based primary youth community project. It is designed to reach out to youth of ages 10-18 in the vicinity of the church through life skills, training and Christian education. It is also an educational center of continuous study for school leavers, school dropouts, unskilled young adults, adults, and senior citizens.
Last year, we have presented a total 6 certificates of completion to our students who had completed Graphic, Web Design and Animation. One school leaver took up a diploma program at a local college upon completion of his program in Hebron. A delinquent student from Toa Yuen is currently doing the above program (just found a job working in a media company). To date, we have 15 students that have taken up Graphic, Web, Animation, Illustration, Video and Sound program at our Hebron center, among those 9 of them are non-believers.
Come this July 2008, Hebron EduCARE will be a full-fledged education center to cater to the needs of the community by terminating the current tenancy at the upper level of Hebron newly purchased building next to Hebron. Hebron EduCare will be registered under a welfare enntity.
Some ex-educationists/academicians and tutors/instructors will join force to teach primary and secondary subjects besides our computer - animation corner which is currently offered graphic, web design, animation, video, sound editing program, 3D Modelling, Environment and Animation.
Apart from these, we may provide childcare, half-way school (before school morning and afternoon class) for busy young parents, counseling for newly wedded and pre-marriage counseling, guitar/piano lessons or even activity/sport center .
Besides charity, we will be offering professional quality programs to primary and secondary students/dropouts and school leavers. In other words, we will charge our students at premium (market rate) and pay our teachers and instructors at premium rate as well.
We also plan to engage a center administrator and other clerical staff to run the center.
Please pray for EduCARE on how we can draw from existing resources and effective deliveries in teaching and instruction and the ability to tap from outreach points such as Shalom Kids, Youth and Young Adults, Hosanna Clubs, Mutiara Rini 2, GB and BB and the community in our surroundings.
