Sandhya Taksale, editor (Pratham Books) writes about the session she conducted in Pune.
Session conducted on : 6th September
Number of kids : 100+
Number of sessions : 1
Language the session was conducted in : Marathi
In Pune, 'One day - One story' event was celebrated in 'Kusumben Motichand Mahila Sewagram'. The event was organised with the help of an NGO- 'Akshar Sarita' which runs a library for the girls. All these girls attend school which is adjacent to this home.
More than 100 girls (from std 1 to std 7) participated in this event. There was quite a lot of excitement around this storytelling session.
The girls liked the name Takloo. They knew the Konkan region and shared details about the trees and fruits from that area. The picture of Takloo's mother when she spreads her hands made them laugh . I carried some cotton, mango leaves, a small earthen pot of salt with me to add some more visual elements. The session was interactive and girls were eager to talk.

They liked the idea of coming up with their own Takloo story and promised that they will write it but in return I should visit again and tell them a new story :)
I will always cherish those curious and smiling faces.
