100 Stories: Recent Episodes
100 Stories Project
The 100 Stories Project aims to help visually impaired high school students learn English.
During the Covid-19 lockdown in India, volunteers around the world banded together, via https://chat.whatsapp.com/IfQnjSMLx44HdcLs9w2jKQ . Across time-zones, from Australia to California, 11 year olds to senior citizens recorded stories for the 100 Stories Project, from their homes.
Volunteers loved it! So we ran 2 rounds in April and May 2020. Overall, 119 volunteers from 6 countries and 3 continents, recorded 225 stories over 4 weeks.

Guest: Ms Puste Bindu, Founder of Lit By Humanity
Host: Archith Narasimhan
In the thick of the struggle with Covid-19 all around, one woman brings together people from all over the world to tell stories. Stories with morals, stories of lands far away and stories that we never knew were inside of us all along.
Using the power of technology, she has begun a revolution in the way scholastic learning and entertainment is being made available, especially to those with visual needs.
