學習負責任的理財方法——成年人都需要的生活技能——甚至從很小的時候就開始了，而且通常是從家裏開始的。這是上周六舉行的第十二屆《詢問者》(Inquirer)讀書節第一天的故事所傳達的信息，該活動旨在通過兒童故事書提高金融素養。今年的節日是與Insular Life (InLife)合作舉辦的，主題是“從小開始:通過閱讀養成明智的理財習慣”。會議期間閱讀的書籍通過Zoom進行，並在Inquirer的Facebook頁麵上播出，這些書籍都是由Insular基金會製作的InLife兒童故事書。“Insular基金會的故事書是10多年前與Adarna合作開發的。但這些故事傳達的信息在今天和10年前一樣真實，一樣有意義，”Insular基金會副總裁兼執行董事安娜·瑪麗亞·r·索裏亞諾(Ana Maria R. Soriano)在開場白中說。在講故事環節，《問詢者朗讀》大使兼電視主持人帕特麗夏·圖帕克朗讀了梅·托比厄斯·帕帕的《世界上最幸運的女孩》，書中講述了女孩卡米娜克服煩惱，為朋友設計了一件有創意又便宜的生日禮物的故事。通過這個故事，圖帕克強調了平衡一個人的需要和想要的概念，以避免不必要的購買和過度消費，並補充說，在送禮方麵，製作個性化的禮物可能比購買昂貴的禮物更有意義。“讓我們弄清楚我們的需要和想要的是什麼。什麼是重要的，什麼是不重要的，在我們要求父母給我們買東西之前要想一想。 Do we need it or do we just want it?” Tumulak said. Veteran storyteller and teacher Dyali Justo read “Wishing Well” by Annie Pacaña-Lumbao, a story about Tala, a young girl who discovers a resourceful method of handling her money, which is to set aside money in a coin bank inspired by a wishing well. Justo encouraged the kids to create their own “wishing well,” through materials readily available to them. In an interview after the session, Justo also narrated how she learned at a young age to save and earn money by renting out and trading her comic books. The program, hosted by Inquirer Lifestyle writing editor Ruth Navarra-Mayo, was participated by some 60 students from Alabang Elementary School, Bayanan Elementary School (Main), and Itaas Elementary School. The second day of the festival, which will also be broadcasted live on Facebook, will be on Nov. 12. Launched in 2007, the Inquirer Read-Along is a corporate social responsibility project of the newspaper company that aims to promote a love of reading among children.
