Fellowship Impact: Pakistan!!

The Our Stories project is a collective effort of One Laptop Per Child, UNICEF, StoryCorps, and Google to leverage digital technologies to help capture and share these stories online.   In particular, the project will leverage the distribution of millions of laptops to children in developing countries through the One Laptop Per Child program as a platform for helping to capture these stories.   As part of the introductory training materials, children will be asked to interview and record the stories of their parents and grandparents using the audio microphone embedded in the laptop.   These stories will then be uploaded to the Our Stories site at Google, where they will be made available for searching and sharing throughout the world.

 

The pilot program for the “Our Stories” project is being run in Uganda, Africa and Karachi, Pakistan. Eisenhower Fellow 2007 from Pakistan and CEO, Rasala Publications, Rabia Garib, interacted with the UniWiki team in April and will be running the pilot program for Pakistan
