Storytelling: The Future of Humanitarian Communications
These four high school graduates, Beatrice, Faiza, Fayudatu and Gladys, are a true inspiration to young women all over the world. At present, they have graduated high school, flown half way around the world as ambassadors for their sisters in Ghana, and are ready to take on a speaking tour in a foreign country as storytellers extraordinaire.
In addition to exploring the city, the girls have been honing their public speaking skills with the assistance of Narrative Communication’s talented Megan Sheldon. They are taking the time and care to perfect these skills since the message they wish to share is so very important: how educating girls in developing countries can have an incredibly positive impact on the wider society. Their stories inform us of the adversity they have overcome while engendering us with feelings of hope for the future. The hope is that our continued support of their education will enable them to blossom into the fully empowered individuals they are meant to be.
This tour is also changing the way we view fundraising and humanitarian communication, in that the stories of those who are affected reach us directly. Storytelling and the voices of citizen journalists are going to play an increasingly important role in humanitarian work moving forward. This tour hopes to inspire action, raise donations for those truly in need, and give the audience a fuller understanding of the problems faced by those in the developing world.
Thats a prudent & meticulous step. Since movement is in many directions, I will say ” Its a STEP FORWARD, in the RIGHT PATH & a PERFECT example from them for other GIRLS in Ghana to EMULATE.” Thank you for supporting to our dear Ghanaian ladies. May they live to be the “First Female President Of The State” ~AL GHADARPHEE~ (Tamale, Northern Ghana)
GREAT!!!
