November is the National Reading Month and to mark the occasion, the Department of Education with World Vision and Save the Children/ BasaPilipinas initiated the 2015 Bohol Storytelling Caravan that took the volunteer storytellers including Your Roving Eye to a most exciting adventure around the province of Bohol.
Story- telling & Read Aloud Workshop |
Armed with nothing except the common passion for reading and tips & pointers learned during the Storytelling & Read- Aloud Workshop, the volunteers took on the task with gladness & cheerfulness and along the way, my group composed of Vida Tirol de Juan, Paul Vistal, Liza Macalandag who just arrived home from a nearly- two year volunteer stint in Ethiopia and Sir Ruel Solon of BasaPilipinas met a lot of wide- eyed Boholano pupils who squealed in delight with our presence and spell- bound as the storytellers animatedly and alternately acted out the various characters in the books.

Everyone went home tired and exhausted but the
friendly teachers we encountered in Sagasa Elem. School, Balilihan, Catigbian
Central West Elem. School, Lourdes Elem. School in Panglao and Dauis Central
Elem. School and the insights and lessons imparted to the pupils especially on
the importance of reading as the key to learn and to gain knowledge made the
whole- day activity worth it.
