A Social Voice for your Community.

Now with the modern digital age it’s even easier for people around the world to keep the stories of a lifetime alive long into the future for others to hear, read and see. One person I’ve meet through producing Create Your Life Story is Kevin Farkis of The Social Voice Project. With a long interest in personal stories starting with capturing those of his relatives and moving onto gathering the quickly disappearing stories of returned Veterans of his community, Kevin is now working with others on Veteran Voices of Pittsburgh.All of the archived content from the Social Voice Project is available for you to listen to is here on Archive.org. Take some time to listen to some great stories and understand the subtle nuances of his story telling style to draw the best out of the people he records.

In this interview here on the podcast with Kevin he mentions a video story of a father who went to war, never to meet his daughter and the thousands of letters he wrote over his time away. Take the time to have a look at the great work Kevin’s been doing including the video, All My Love, Always . . . A Thousand Letters which helps to share the story of a missed father.

We discuss some great tips for your project but more importantly use Kevin’s inspired story to help inspire you with your project.

Many thanks to Kevin for being on Create Your Life Story and the excellent work he’s doing for the community at large.
