SORSOGON CITY, October 24 (PIA) -- Tomas Leonor, advocate for cancer stricken children through his famous one-man walk all over the country, was one of the key storytellers in the Read Along Program for kids here, an advocacy program for literacy awareness through reading of the Philippine Daily Inquirer. | |||
With Leonor was Councilor Rosalia Laganzo Enerio from Sorsogon as main story tellers. | |||
The children’s day activity included the Doodle Earth Visual Arts Workshop where children were exposed to the opportunity of creativity using water color and and water soluble paints for mask making, face painting, environmental art and basic painting for kids know-how. | |||
The read-along event formed part of the Kasanggayahan Festival 2011 Children’s Day (KFCD) Visual Arts Fair which held at the Aemilianum Gymnasium here last Saturday, Oct. 22, according to Sorsogon Arts Council spokesperson Joseph John Perez . | |||
Isabel Gile, events coordinator of the KFCD explained that the facilitators in the activity were Sorsoganon Fine Arts students of the University of the Philippines together with the Sorsogon State College architecture students. | |||
Gile said that these students would also like to share their talents to the children to signify the enhancement of visual arts appreciation for children. | |||
Performances from pre-school pupils were also shown while food chain mascots here performed magical tricks for children. | |||
Gile and Perez said that this year’s KFCD will promote the literacy campaign of PDI, Eugenia Duran-Apostol, founder of PDI being a true blue Sorsoganon and would like to make Sorsogon a province that will spearhead this advocacy. | |||
Meanwhile, the Red Roots Artist Cooperative’s Doodle Earth Workshop according to Perez is more on the enhancement of environmental awareness for children expressed through visual art. | |||
Hundreds of children from the province participated in the activity. Parents lauded the organizers while observing the transfer of knowledge the children gained from the fun activities presented. (MAL/IAG, PIA Sorsogon) | |||
