"There's no better way of storytelling than teaching through the use of fantasy and puppetry. The work done by the Center of Puppetry Arts is critical for our community since storytelling is essential for children's development. The Center of Puppetry arts not only helps disseminate knowledge but helps our children become more intimate with their cultural heritage".
