Support our English Literacy Program. We want to see our scholar's growth and we need volunteer storytellers to help us.

About the Project

Founded in 2008, Binhi English Literacy Foundation Inc. (BINHI) aims to improve English reading skills to identified non- and frustrated readers aged between 4-9 years old in public elementary schools and community centers.

Every month, a storytelling activity for the BINHI Scholars is conducted. We invite guest storytellers to read storybooks. Live storytelling is posted monthly on BINHI's Facebook page and other social media platforms. The goals of this activity are a) to introduce Life Skills as a concept to the BINHI kids through creative storytelling and b) to introduce our advocacy to a wider audience.
