Sharing the love for reading

Last Saturday, February 25, 2012, there was much hubbub at the Cebu Public Library. The Basadours, a newly formed volunteer group was holding their launching event that consisted of a read aloud session by Cebu City's own mayor, Mayor Michael Rama, a puppet show by the Lato siblings and a read along session by Ms. Cebu's 1st runner up, Ms. Rachel Chloe Palang.

The Basadours, is a group of enthusiastic individuals who would like to promote literacy to the underprivileged.

Using various techniques in story telling, they would like to encourage the kids to love reading and guide them through it as well. As Ambassadors for reading, they also partner with government, private organizations and other community partners and stakeholders in pursuit of literacy development.

During their launching, they gave the audience a preview of what the group does and also handed out enlistment forms to those who are interested to join.

For those who are interested, here's a link to their FB page: The Basadours. You can even find members there who are available answer any questions. Or just drop by the Cebu Public Library if you're curious. :)
