Pusong Pinoy is a supporter of "The Storytelling Project" founded by Rey Bufi.   The vision of "The Storytelling Project" is in line with Pusong Pinoy which is to provide storybooks to every Filipino child, build libraries in every Filipino community and raise a nation of learners.  It envisions a community that embraces a culture of reading where children find storytelling as enjoyable as playing and its library regarded as a haven for fun, enjoyment and learning, a place where ideas come to life and imagination guides the hearts of every child it holds.   

In 2012, Pusong Pinoy was honored to have Mr. Bufi as a guest speaker at the first Pusong Pinoy Summit, "Chikahan sa Manila". 

To date, Pusong Pinoy had donated over 1,500 storybooks, slippers, children clothes, school supplies and other items in support of TSP's work at Pactil Elementary School in the Mountain Province, Pinalpal School in Pangasinan and Suit Elementary School in Dagupan.  In July 2013, Pusong Pinoy supported TSP's fundraising event, "Run for Reading", with a donation of P20,000.   

It is great to see the children enjoying "The Storytelling Project".  It helped them to read and use their creative imagination - satisfying their curiosity for stories and knowledge, while building their confidence to express themselves in speaking, writing and art.
