We had another storytelling session today at an MCD school in East of Kailash, Delhi. We addressed nearly 40 children, with special needs and different learning capabilities. They loved the session. This time we used props as well. Thank you for this amazing concept. Our volunteers love this activity and are enthusiastic about inculcating it in our upcoming projects as well.
From the Prioritize Humanity page : After initial introductions, we conducted a storytelling session on the book: ‘The Boy and the Drum’, through a role play. We followed it up with an extensive storytelling session through mimicry, art & craft, drawing, sketching and other innovative ways, to impart key messages. We also distributed a lot of useful stationery items to them. The children, teachers as well as the volunteers loved the session.

Thank you Nupur for helping coordinate these sessions and a big shout out to all the Oracle employees who took part to spread the joy of reading.

In its fourth edition of the 'One Day - One Story' campaign, Pratham Books was joined by 2500+ storytellers who conducted 2300+ storytelling sessions. Many, many steps towards a 'Reading India'!
What started as a small step by Pratham Books to spread the joy of reading has become a movement. In 2012, Pratham Books initiated the One Day-One Story initiative on the occasion of International Literacy Day . We will be sharing the stories of all our volunteer storytellers (Pratham Books Champions) through our blog.
View more pictures from the International Literacy Day Celebrations held in 2015. This blog contains stories sent in by all our champions. Browse through the blog for more stories.
