Storytelling at Ekal Vidyalaya Foundation

Well, I know it is short, but this video is from a very important work made in India by Ekal Vidyalaya Foundation (Foundation of Solo Schools), a non-profit organization involved in education and village development in rural areas and tribal villages.
You can see the effort even if the clip is not a 'movie'.
We must support this.
Here is the clip by zonkgod.

Tickle Your Story Bones by Your Story Bag

Well, first of all I have to say that I like very much this expression: tickle your story bones.
Second, I appreciated a lot the exibition of the teacher in the clip.
She shows a fundamental aspect of the storyteller.
A storyteller is not a political leader or generally someone who believes to be one of the kings ruling the world.
She is ready to get down to give emotions and dreams to the audience.
Here is the video.

That is the fine work I found in Mango Readers, Jaipur, Rajasthan (India): Mangoreaders - we love reading. Inspiring kids to read, create, share and learn with stories. Enabling creativity, design, imagination and dreams.Committed to improving the reading levels among children as decrease in reading habit is becoming prime concern of parents and teachers.
It is a story world for children between 3-10 years of age. We believe kids learn best through stories and so is our story world and physical library of books and our brain teasing toys and puzzles. Join us for all the fun learning!!
