Get to know a bit more about the Storytelling Club! Every Saturday, for the past year, we have held our sessions at the Gilgil Junior Library - a community Library based in Bondeni. Bondeni is a vulnerable area in the community where a lot of families struggle to make ends meet. By creating a space where children are encouraged to read, create and express themselves we hope to empower them with skills, tools and inspiration. We do so by having storytelling sessions, and different classes including arts, music, dance, gardening and much more. Our biggest goals are to encourage a love for books and reading, improve literacy and early childhood development and support self expression. There are a range of ages, from as young as 3 years, up to 16 years, and between 50 to 100 children in attendance during each session.
We are so grateful to look back on a really special year, that wouldn't have been possible without the most wonderful and passionate team and volunteers! We are also accepting valued donations of much needed learning resources and books for the Junior Library, and as we approach Christmas, gifts for the kids (toys, clothes, books). All support goes such a long way, and means so much! So please do not hesitate to reach out. [email protected]
