[Forward] “Sowing the Seeds of Happiness” Storytelling Volunteer Training Activity Recruitment Letter

To com­pre­hen­sive­ly pro­mote read­ing among chil­dren in Bei­jing, sow the seeds of joy­ful read­ing in the hearts of chil­dren, and active­ly fos­ter a har­mo­nious envi­ron­ment for a “book­ish cap­i­tal,” the Cap­i­tal Library and Bei­jing Red Mud Cul­ture Devel­op­ment Co., Ltd. joint­ly planned and launched the “Sow­ing the Seeds of Hap­pi­ness” chil­dren’s read­ing pro­mo­tion pro­gram: Sto­ry­teller Vol­un­teer Train­ing Pro­gram (here­inafter referred to as the “Train­ing Pro­gram”) in Decem­ber 2006, suc­cess­ful­ly hold­ing two ses­sions. In August 2011, the two orga­ni­za­tions will once again col­lab­o­rate to relaunch the “Train­ing Pro­gram,” recruit­ing “Seed” Sto­ry­teller vol­un­teers city­wide to pro­mote advanced chil­dren’s read­ing con­cepts. By invit­ing experts and writ­ers in the field of chil­dren’s read­ing, the pro­gram aims to cul­ti­vate a group of vol­un­teers who are inter­est­ed, pas­sion­ate, and deter­mined to “read aloud” to chil­dren, allow­ing them to expe­ri­ence the “beau­ty of read­ing.” This will stim­u­late chil­dren’s moti­va­tion and inter­est in read­ing, there­by fos­ter­ing excel­lent read­ing skills and form­ing good read­ing habits among young peo­ple.
