Join us on June 10 & 11 in Zürich!

Nandoon din kami nitong Sabado at Linggo (June 10 at 11) sa Kloten, Zürich kasama ang mga kaibigan namin sa Halo-halo at Studiyo Filipino! Dalaw na kayo para magkita-kita naman tayo sa totoo. Syempre maghahanda kami ng KS tambayan (Kid’s Corner) para sa mga bisitang bulilit na mahilig magbasa at gumawa ng gawaing pansining.

At kami ang host ng palaro ng 4:30pm sa June 10!

Bawal daw habulan at patintero – baka madapa o mabilaukan ang mga makukulit – pero meron parin nang tumbang preso at trip to jerusalem (at mag-iisip pa ako ng iba), so pwede pa rin sumali ang mga bibo dyan!

Join us this Saturday June 10 and 11 in Zürich – at Kloten Stadtplatz for the Philippines Independence Day celebration. In partnership with our friends from: Halo-halo and Studiyo Filipino, Kuwentuhang Sabado will be organizing a kid’s corner with books and activities for all our curious little visitors.

At our kid’s corner, we will read stories from our (private) collection of Filipino books and creating simple crafts even our youngest visitors can make.

And at 4:30pm on June 10, as part of the event’s program, we will be hosting kids’ games!

Ang pagbabalik ng (Virtual) KS

“Mama, kelan ulit tayo pupunta sa Kuwentuhang Sabado?”

Sabi ko, haaaaay ang layo kasi natin sa isa’t isa kaya ang hirap makahanap ng petsa na puwede lahat ng pamilya…

“Pero Mama, puwede naman sa computer!”

Onga pwede pero…Gusto nyo ba yun?

“Opooooo!!!”

Kaya sabi ko, sige, gawa tayo – pero tutulungan nyo ako magbasa ng kuwento.

“Opooooo!!!”

Pangako yan ha (sa isip-isip ko).

…Kahit tapos na ang pandemia – hindi naman bawal na magkita pa rin nang virtual diba…

Join us next week, February 18, 2023 from 9:30-10:30am (CET) para sa susunod na (Virtual) Kuwentuhang Sabado! My three sons have promised to assist me in telling the story of the the Life of Lam-ang – and Mama Kith will be joining us with her son to share a new Valentine’s craft!

Yours truly – Mama Cherry of Team KS

Ang Maletaklatan sa Kanzbi

Our modest collection of children’s books has found its new home in Kanzbi in Zürich! What was once Maletaklatan, coined from the terms Maleta and Aklatan, a collection of about 50 Filipino children’s books, has now been permanently moved to the Children’s Library of Kanzbi in Zürich.

Catering to multi-lingual children of the region of Zürich, Kanzbi has welcomed our collection to be part of their intercultural library for books and toys. Now available publicly for all families for check-out, we are happy to share our stories with other curious children – with or without Filipino roots.

Online Survey

Dear Parents,
Dear Members and Friends of Kuwentuhang Sabado,

We hope that you are all well and enjoying a lovely summer break! You may all know that during the height of the pandemic, we were forced to hold our Kuwentuhang Sabado (KS) meetings via Zoom. It was a great experience to have friends from all over the world join our storytelling sessions and share in our mission.

KS via Zoom

Thank you again to everyone who was able to attend and make the lockdown a little more bearable for us and our kids – and perhaps a little more memorable, too!

Ever since the COVID restrictions regarding group activities have been lifted in Switzerland, we were able to meet again for a couple of live KS sessions in the previous school year. It was great fun to finally see each other again! However, we also realized that KS meetings will never be quite the same.

As we are now approaching our 6th school year and as COVID is still looming over us in one way or another, we would like to assess the current needs of our member families as well as other families who may have not yet been part of our KS live sessions. This will help us know how we can offer you KS sessions that are most beneficial to you and your children as we move forward.

Please take the time to fill out the survey following this link:

Kuwuntuhang Sabado – Online Survey 2021

It should take up no more than about 15 minutes of your time and your replies will be treated confidentially. (You can opt to take part in the survey anonymously.) We also encourage you to share the link and spread the word about KS to other friends or families who may not have joined KS yet but could be interested (all information about KS can be found on our homepage.) Participants will automatically enter a prize draw for one of three shopping vouchers worth 30.- Swiss Francs (~32 USD)!

Thank you for giving your replies on or before September 15, 2021 – your help will be very valuable to us. We are also grateful for all the support that you have shown us over the past 5 years! Stay tuned for the announcement of our next KS live sessions and, in the meantime, we wish you all good health and a successful start of the new school year for the kids!

Yours truly,

The KS Team
