Puppet Shows in Slums of Islamabad
It's
well understood and learnt that children pay more attention to stories, lessons,
and awareness talks, when there are visual cues like pictures or animations to
flesh out the narrative. Staging your own puppet show is a great way to
get your child involved in actually telling the story as well.
Puppet
shows were made by St. Thomas CFCBR project in office, all CFCBR centers in
slums of Islamabad. The topic under discussion was care of sick child,
vaccination, and necessity of hand wash. Parents of differently able children,
special children, children of basic education and other children from
communities attended the puppet shows. They showed great joy and were highly attentive.
