- AwneAbuzont in Nablus, IsraeliOccupiedPalestine: Olives, Future and FightingPeacefully

Here are sources for more Stories. Thank you for helping us present excerpts and reach out to storytellers.
We're pursuing partnerships with: KevinJones (Xigi), (TiddlyWiki)
We're interested to work for a variety of clients such as:
- ProposalLeader=AndriusKulikauskas
- ProposalSummary=For 24,000 USD, we organized a worldwide team of 100 people to create an online resource with 2,000 stories about people working in the world's food supply chain.
- ProposalStatus=We finished our work for GregWolff in March, 2007. Study Greg's thoughts on VirtualPublicAssistants and his chat from August 2, 2007: A repository of recorded lectures and other "stories with audiences". Some editing functions included to break the stories into appropriate sized segments for discussion groups. Imagine taking the top five recurring stories and making videos which would be accessible to everyone, especially those unable to read the language.
