The pandemic might take away school from children

The pandemic might take away school from children but definitely not stories! As the Google Meet screen comes alive with characters and #playforpeace games, the children immerse themselves in the fictitious world created by the storyteller and dance to the tunes of different poems. We thank the @doorstepschool for facilitating these storytelling sessions with different NGOs. Hoping to spread the nourishing effect of stories and play as wide as we can.
