Our first meeting---


Teacher Shu-ying Tsai is accepting our interview

  A-fu mentioned Teacher Shu-ying Tsai, the leading person in training story-tellers, when we visited A-fu’s bookstore. 
       At 1:30, December 2, we invited Teacher Shu-ying Tsai to our school and interviewed her. She was a charming and beautiful lady. When she told us she was already 44 years old and her child is the junior student in a university, we were greatly surprised. She said she worked as the story-teller for 11 years and was enjoying being with the children.

Unforgettable experience--

 

She told us about her unforgettable experience. Once she played musical instruments with the local children. Another time, a child even wants to give up being a baseball player to attend her story-telling activity. In a winter, she attended a book club, expecting there would be few children because it was very cold. But to her surprise, eight children came to enjoy her story.

Teacher Tsai’s blog

 Teacher Tsai also shared her experience of establishing a story-teller organization. She told us the establishment of such organization required determination and persistence, and made full of the local resources and support. Finally, she pointed out a few issues we should be attentive: 1. free participation of the parents and the local people, 2. open the school library to the story-tellers and the local people, 3. win over the support from the school and the local people and encourage them to participate in the activities.
