About The Storytelling Project
The Storytelling Project (TSP) aims to spark hope, inspiration and imagination through storytelling; to make reading an enjoyable experience for children; to start a reading habit; and to instill the love of reading and learning in all our TSP kids. We’ve tirelessly crossed rivers and excitedly conquered mountains to reach remote communities – to bring our own brand of happy learning.
We help communities develop a culture of reading through our 3-phase program: IMAGINE. CREATE. SHARE.
IMAGINE - Build the kids’ imagination through the 21-Day Storytelling Program, storywriting sessions and empower the community through the trainings and seminars.
CREATE - Create avenues for exploring their newfound love for reading through the TSP Library Project.
SHARE - Share knowledge and experiences with the Community through the TSP Club.
Pagsawitan Elementary School Phase 1
From February 6 - 28, 2017, TSP volunteers will stay at Pagsawitan Elementary School to conduct daily storytelling sessions for Grade 3 students. We are accepting volunteers any day between these dates.
Storytelling Routine
During weekdays, storytelling sessions will happen inside the school. Our routine usually starts with songs and dances then a lead facilitator would tell the story for the day. Volunteers who want to do storytelling may do so at the given time. There will also be post-reading activities for the kids. Volunteers may choose to stay overnight at the school or for just 1 day.
During weekends, volunteers will be divided into clusters. Each cluster will do the routine in a public area near the students' homes. Some locations are near, some may require a bit of trekking. Volunteers may also choose to overnight at the school or for just 1 day
Schedule:
Daily storytelling sessions start at 12:00 noon until 1:30 PM.
Meeting time at the school is 10:00 AM to allow for preparation and/or trek to the location depending on which cluster you will choose, if on a weekend.
How to get there:
Meeting place is at JAC Liner Buendia near LRT, 6:00AM. (Bus leaves every 30 minutes). TSP coordinator will be there during weekends. If not on a weekend, tell the conductor to drop you off at Pagsawitan near DLTB terminal.
Those who wish to travel from Cubao could ride DLTB bus line along EDSA Aurora Blvd to Pagsawitan.
Those who wish to travel from Alabang could ride DLTB bus line in Starmall.
