Voices in Your Hand, a major win-win initiative for the digital & social inclusion of the 'bottom of the pyramid'. It was piloted in a Brazilian shantytown with major multinational investment and a jigsaw of for-profit and non-profit partners: local, regional and multinational. The system exploited two-way, interactive podcasting and voice messaging on cheap, low-power, off-network MP3 devices and can be used by illiterates in any local language, even in the most remote regions without mains electricity or network coverage. It's like listening to community radio, but you can talk back to questions embedded in the programs! This approach can multiply the geographic and demographic reach of current telecentre activities world-wide, whilst improving their economic sustainability and social impact. see http://voices.stanford.edu for a description written during the incubation phase PaulRankin (email to info@storybases.org)

Conversations du Monde: 'Conversations with the World' aims to support the human capacity to speak to each other, to communicate living memory from generation to generation, to pass down stories, techniques, recipes... in other words, their oral tradition through the sharing of pictures, stories and exhibitions, such as the 'Voices of the Andes'. - http://www.conversationsdumonde.net/ (PaulRankin)
