The Kahani (Hindi word for Story) Project aims to bring together storytellers from across the world who want to set stories free. We believe that listening to stories is a fundamental right of every child and captured in digital audio format stories can be made more accessible and available to children of all age groups, nationalities and disabilities. Our website (www.thekahaniproject.org) features audio stories recorded by volunteers who have a passion for storytelling and a little time on their hand. Anyone can contribute a story here and you can begin begin now. Sign-Up here - http://thekahaniproject.org/be-a-storyteller/ and we will walk you through the steps that will get you started with recording and uploading your digital audio stories.
