1,001 Stories


Paul 's 1,001 Stories Project http://seedsofempowerment.org/what-we-do/1001-stories.html are available on Amazon and iTunes, totally volunteer led and driven stories as developed by children in rural villages, including Rwanda, Uganda, and India around the world. Paul's idea is to do 1,001 stories in his lifetime. The one problem: The children's stories are really rough stuff, they love high drama of love and death.

Search the iTunes for "Seeds of Empowerment." Powerful stuff.

The objective is to fill the gap in these countries: Where there are no books there can still be stories from the children themselves, downloaded onto their parent's phones (non-smart phone versions can be made available).

And check out StoryCorps, from the Library of Congress.

Ideas: create this to be the iPhone version of the UNICEF greeting card.
