Here in Milchel, all our activities and programs are anchored on our 7 Milchel Core Values and 5 Key Traits. One of the major activities we have every year, sometimes even multiple times a year, is doing charity work. This is guided by our core value COMPASSION.
We believe that doing charity work does not only help the beneficiaries, but also helps develop our children’s character.
First of all, when children participate in planning and executing a charity work, they learn empathy. They get exposed to different life situations and struggles. Because of that, they understand the challenges that other people face. They also develop a caring attitude as they see the positive impact of their effort on those in need.
Next, children who participate in charity learn responsibility and accountability. In a charity event, children are assigned tasks. Then, they learn to be responsible for their roles in order to contribute to the project at hand. They learn to be dependable when they realize that their contributions are crucial to the success of a charity event.
Finally, children learn gratitude and appreciation when they participate in a charity event. Witnessing the challenges faced by others fosters a sense of gratitude for one’s own circumstances and resources. They also learn to appreciate the efforts of others, as well as see the value of community support and generosity.
Throughout the years, Milchelians have extended help to different beneficiaries. They have helped elderly individuals, orphans, and troubled teens. They’ve also helped animals, impoverished communities, and religious group, among others. Their contributions have gone beyond financial support to include their time, effort, and energy for worthy causes. We are proud of all Milchelians and hope they continue to embrace this compassionate attitude as they grow and mature.
