Last month, we opened our home again to the children... this time for them to read and browse English books. Thanks to generous donations of books over the past few years, we amassed enough stock of books to share with children of various ages. The books range from pre-school to high school level with books covering fiction, non-fiction, Bible stories and magazines. Converting our garden to a conducive reading area was not as easy as the tarpaulin covering kept flying off in windy Tagaytay but we finally nailed it down with the aid of wooden props. With some mats on the floor and boxes of books, we were ready for the children. They came and excitedly rumaged through the treasure chest of books. Most children were of the younger age group and even though some were not yet of reading age, they enjoyed themselves flipping through the pages and looking at the pages. We ended the session with a story telling session. The reading corner will continue to operate every Saturday morning and we hope that the children will learn to cultivate the joy of reading and improve their command of the English language.
