One aspect of our Let’s Talk Story book is that it allows volunteers to learn about their own ancestry. By filling out questions about family history, volunteers often discover intriguing information about generations before them.
One volunteer, Levi , recently interviewed his grandma and cancer survivor, Janet Morita.
“I enjoyed learning more about my grandma’s life. She faced a lot more discrimination than I have in my life so far because she lived through the war and internment camp,” he wrote after completing the book. Overall, the book had helped him “connect and document his family history.”
