Smriti Middha sent us a short note and some pictures of the storytelling session she coordinated and conducted in Mozambique. Smriti is an IIM Lucknow Alumni and she volunteers in the social sector often (kids and women empowerment). She currently works with Fleximoms and Sheroes. She also loves travelling and meeting new people and has started a monthly e-magazine called Travel Chronicles.
She says ...
With the help of a portuguese / English translator, I was able to do it.
Kids here loved it. They were surprised and shy initially and were looking confused. Then when the story began, they all felt lovely. They were asking me how to be more like Paplu. Even told me bandits were bad people and they will make sure none entered their residential areas. I am happy I could do it for them with help from you.
Thank you Smriti for spreading the joy of reading!
