Immigration Reality: Cell Phones Become Tools for Storytelling in the Hands of L.A. Immigrants

Here is a wonderful Happy New Year story:
It is a story about immigrants telling their stories, and the technology program that makes it possible.
"Feet in Two Worlds" is a news blog written by immigrants about immigration and the immigrant experience

Cell Phones Become Tools for Storytelling in the Hands of L.A. Immigrants | Feet in 2 Worlds: "Madelou, as friends like to call her, has been telling stories for the past two years through Mobile Voices (Voces Moviles), an online multimedia platform that allows her to upload video, pictures, text and sound with a few clicks on her cellphone.

The initiative was created by day laborers, household workers, the University of Southern California, Drupal software Programmers and the Institute of Popular Education of Southern California (IDEPSCA). The program provides a virtual space for low-income people, particularly immigrant workers, to share their personal stories or those of others they encounter in their community." Dec. 30, 2010
