Even
grasshoppers and ants know how to share
Just
like the scene in the 1980s film Ang Mga Kuwento ni Lola Basyang, the
Zaguan of the Museo De La Salle (MDLS) became a venue for children of
DLSU-D faculty and staff to listen to the story of Annie D. Ant, when
it hosted Hora Del Cuento on Aug. 2. The Museum Docents (MD) Society,
the student volunteer core of the Museo, came up with a puppet show
to breathe life to the story.
Written
by Carmelita Ballesteros and illustrated by Jo Ann Bereber, Annie
D. Ant is a picture storybook of an ant, a grasshopper, and other animals
that survived El Niño through selfless giving and sharing. The
book, which was personally chosen by the members of the MD Society,
coincidentally is the first title of Panday-Isip Publishing House, Inc.—a
newly established publishing company whose primary objective is the
production of socially relevant children’s books. According to
MDLS Tours and Program Supervisor Cecille Gelicame, [Annie D. Ant is
a] very timely story; it teaches the kids about frugality, compassion,
and faith in God.
Hora Del
Cuento is a monthly program of the MDLS, happening every first Friday
of the month at 10am-12nn. The program aims to encourage young children
to visit museums to discover a different kind of fun and excitement
and learning in a museum environment. Aside from the story telling activity,
the program also offers art workshop for kids and a tour of the Museo.
