Employees from the Human Resource Development Division-Talent Assessment and Acquisition Department of the PJ Lhuillier Group of Companies led the story-telling and puppet show activity of the Consulate of the Republic of San Marino in the Philippines last May 20 at the Museo Pambata in Manila.

“Coming from the positive feedback we have received when we first started this story-telling activity for children, we have decided to make this project a monthly event. We hope that through simple events like this, we’ll be able to convey our message to these children and help them become better individuals as they grow up,” Consul General of the Republic of San Marino to the Philippines and Cebuana Lhuillier President and CEO Jean Henri Lhuillier said.

Twenty three children from Barangay 661, Ermita, Manila were toured around the museum and were treated to a cultural exhibition and a puppet show featuring the story of “Yehey, May Pamilya Nang Mag-aaruga Sa Akin!”—a children’s book commissioned by the consulate.

Created and published in 2016, the book features the story of a puppy in a rescue home and relates the importance of having a family who is full of love and care than having material things.

The storytelling event is a monthly program done by the Consulate of the Republic of San Marino in the Philippines. Volunteers from various organizations and companies are asked to do the storytelling and prepare games and give prizes for the kids.
