Weeks after its eruption, the Taal Volcano continued to spew flumes of ash and smoke. Residents within the 14-kilometer danger zone fled to safe areas for refuge. To this day, families who used to live near the crater are suffering in the aftermath of the volcano’s eruption.

Last January 24, together with Operation Blessing, Superbook visited two evacuation centers in San Jose, Batangas to provide disaster relief, medical aid, and spiritual encouragement.

Kids staying at the evacuation centers met Gizmo and had the chance to sing and dance with him. They enjoyed group games and puppet shows. Aside from relief packs, the children also enjoyed Superbook goodies.

The children who looked downcast when the Superbook team arrived beamed with hope after watching Superbook’s “Job”episode. They learned that God can still be trusted even in times of calamity and hardship.

“I learned to count on God and never lose hope in difficult times,” shared Brandon. “Job lost everything, yet he still prayed to God. Let’s continue to hold on to God because He is always guiding us.”

Hans was so excited because “Job” was his favorite Superbook episode. “Job’s sufferings were caused by Satan. Even after losing his family and possessions, Job still trusted God,” he shared.

“Thank you, Superbook, for helping us! Our worries have gone away because you came,” Hans cheerfully said.

“It is important that we teach children good values because they will carry it with them for the rest of their lives,” shared Rosenda Garces, a first-grade teacher from Enrique Jose Elementary School in Kibungan, Benguet.

In the morning, before her class begins, Rosenda lets her students watch Superbook.

“Superbook is a good TV program for children,” said Rowena. “Superbook teaches good manners and fear of the Lord. If children will watch Superbook, they will grow up avoiding bad behavior and fearing God.”

Last January 11, Gizmo and the Superbook Team had the chance to visit the elementary school where Rosenda was teaching. Her school is in the far-flung community of Madaymen in Kibungan.

Kibungan is a cool, mountainous municipality in the Northwest section of Benguet, more than 300 kilometers north of Metro Manila. In partnership with Pathfinders Outdoors Club, more than a hundred children enjoyed watching Superbook’s “A Giant Adventure” and were given school supplies, toiletries, and goodies.

9-year-old Ainor is one of the fans of Superbook in Barangay Madaymen. She was so grateful for all that she has learned while watching the episodes. “Thank you, Superbook, for teaching us about God, for teaching us good values,” she said.

Ainor’s father, Jim, also shared how Superbook has been helpful to him and his wife in teaching discipline to his children. “Because of Superbook, my kids learned to obey us without complaining,” Jim shared. “They now have the initiative in helping with the household chores. I pray that my children will grow up in the fear of the Lord and that they will be excellent in school.”

Superbook is a great tool in teaching important life and faith values to children and leading them closer to God.
