Adult Post Trauma Counseling

This boy is only 8 years old after the typhoon teachers noticed he has been quiet and withdrawn. Our Counselor, Ms. Lisa came to know that during the time of typhoon he was left alone with his 3 year old younger brother and his 5 month old baby brother and the

water came up to his knee level.

He was afraid that his parents might scold him when his 2 younger brothers might die… He is too young to carry such responsibility. Praise God no one was hurt

The kids with trauma was separated to a room with Counselor, Kuya Pilo

“This is what the Lord says: As I have brought all this great calamity on this people, so I will give them all the prosperity I have promised them.”

- Jeremiah 32:42

It takes a heart to feel the painKailangan ng puso upang

maramdaman ang sakitBut It takes an action to ease the

painSubalit kailangan ng hakbangin

upang mabawasan ang sakit

The hidden stories of broken livesAng mga tagong istorya ng mga

nasirang buhayThe shatttered dreams that no one

knowsMga gumuhong pangarap na walang

nakakabatid

The falling tears that no one seesMga pumapatak ng luhang walang

nakakakitaThe untold miseries from withinMga lihim na pighati sa kalooban

All the aspirations and dreamsLahat ng mga naisin at

pangarapinAll the hopes and desires

Lahat ng pag-asa at naiisin

All have been awakenLahat ay nabigyang buhay

Now it can come trueNgayon maaring matupad

Because someone believedDahil mayroong naniwala

There is someone who paid the price

Mayroong tumaya

And taught them how to be back in the race again

At tinuruan silang maibalik muli sa karera

And gave them wings to soar highAt binigyan ng pakpak upang makalipad

ng matayog

It takes a teacher to tap one's full potentialIsang guro ang siyang naghuhubog ng

kakayahanBut it takes a hero to carve it to one's heart

Subalit isang bayani ang makakapag-ukit sa kanilang mga puso

Competition maybe stiffMaaring matindi ang kompetisyon

Opportunities maybe rareBilang man ang oportunidad

But I know from withinSubalit sigurado ako

This time they can winNgayong panahon mananalo

sila

The noble cause of touching livesAng mataas na panawagan ng

paghubog ng buhayIs an honor that every one has

ay isang karangalan ng isang guro

Serves as a lightpost to their uncharted path of uncertainty

Tumatayong matayog na ilawan sa kabila ng pagkaligaw sa kawalan

To turn trial to triumphUpang gawing tagumpay ang pagkasawi

Because it takes just one to believeSapagkat kahit iisa lang

ang maniwalaAnd makes things happenAt gawin ang nararapat

We, the believers of ChristTayong mga mananampalataya ni Kristo

Are the history makers of our nationAng lumilikha ng kasaysayan ng ating

bayan

We write the future right in the lives of the people around us

Ating sinusulat ang kinabukasanSa buhay ng mga taong nakapaligid

sa atin

Bayanihan A true Filipino Culture
