This episode is a little different from the previous ones. It features stories told by children from Kongoni, Western Kenya who narrated their favourite stories in front of an active audience at Kongoni Community Library, in Likuyani, Kakamega County. 

We are super grateful to the library, parents, and our network schools for allowing to amplify the voices of their children to the world. 

These stories are inspired by Grandmother’s Tales, a Project Based Learning resource  from the Internet Free Education Resource Bank (IFERB) developed by  Education Above All Foundation.  We have been implementing this project at Kongoni primary and Community library in partnership with Education Above All Foundation. 

We believe that these stories will inspire children to gain a variety of skills through storytelling.
