An interactive storytelling show and outreach was led by employees of the PJ Lhuillier Group of Companies last July 15 in the Museo Pambata in Manila. Employees of the Information Communication Technology Department partnered with the Consulate General of the Republic of San Marino in bringing life to the children of Dela Paz and Malabon Elementary School.

During their tour around the museum, the children were able to experience an interactive show, as their classmates and teachers were given the opportunity to be part of the storytelling by acting as characters from the storybook, “Yehey May Pamilya Nang Mag-aaruga sa Akin!” - a childrens book commissioned by the consulate. They participated by wearing costumes, reciting lines from the book, and playing games with their fellow classmates. The facilitators conducted two games and gave prizes to all the children.

Among the storytellers in the show were Mr. Ergie Ong and Ms. Marion Santana.

Created and published in 2016, the book features the story of an orphaned 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.
