Enid Blyton and others laid the foundation on which many developed their appreciation of the written words. It was natural that the generation that were exposed to these works went on to write numerous books and win accolades as literary giants. That generation gave us the Pacesetter series published by the MacMillan group. There are more that could be mentioned.

Story telling is part of our being. Communication is probably one of the biggest distinguishing feature of man from other beings. Yet, there is an art behind this. A story is not just good because of what it is, it becomes good because of the word choices, the syntax, structure anecdotes and all that are put together to convey it to the listeners. We all know a good story when we hear one and while the content helps it is always about the presentation.

Unfortunately, the advent of modern technologies that tools like Twitter, Facebook and Instagram present, the art of good story telling is a dying one. These technologies have contributed in no small measures to the acceptance of slangs, abbreviated words and shortenings in communication. This and more are helping to Jill the art.

We are out to revive this art by encouraging our young ones to become creative in the use of words early. We see it as the essence of our being to encourage the development of this skill through various initiatives that reward and help project their efforts in the limelight.
