Feedback Read what others are saying about SoundAffects   "SoundAffects - what a fantastic project!" Barney Harwood, Presenter, BBC Blue Peter   "Taking part in the SoundAffects project made me realise that so many children in the world are interested in my world and my story." Aminatta, Ivory Coast   "The class was incredibly quiet as the children listened to the SoundAffects recordings from Ghana. Children were beginning to understand what it is like to be a member of a family in a small town in the Volta Region." Penny Sullivan, Head, Galliard Primary School, London   "Anyone who has worked with children will know that hearing from others of a comparable age has a much greater impact than listening to an adult’s view of the world. The mission of SoundAffects is to use the immediate and relatively cheap medium of recorded audio to bring the voices of children from very different cultures and continents directly into each others’ lives." Mick Delap, Chair of trustees, Soundffects   "We’ve been working with children at our linked school in London on a project called My Family. I’ve learnt that children in the UK enjoy playing games with their brothers and sisters, just like we do. I’ve also learnt that some families have problems – the parents may be divorced, or they may not have enough money. I was surprised – I thought everything was really easy in Britain.” Sarah, 12 years, Adafienu School, Denu, Ghana   “By using Audio technology, SoundAffects has breathed “fresh air” into the school linking programme. They have brought an easy, straightforward and affordable means of communication to schools. It is now possible for the children to talk to each other across continents, discuss matters of interest about themselves and their environment, exchange cultural ideas and topics in the school curricula, give and accept their opinions on global issues, ask peer questions and receive peer answers about common subjects, from the horses’ own mouth, so to speak.” Grace Amissah, Aseseeso-Abonse Diaspora Group   "Just in the first visit, the first recording SoundAffects did, the children felt special. They were aware they were speaking not just to the group, but to a microphone - and that what they were saying would be shared with children from other places. Communicating through SoundAffects, they were able to talk about things that they perhaps would not otherwise have spoken about." Ann Dibble, former link coordinating teacher, John O'Gaunt Community Technology College in Hungerford, Berkshire, twinned with Aseseeso Presbyterian Junior Secondary School in eastern region, Ghana   "It's important for our children to gain a better understanding of the world by hearing the voices of children from other cultures. By listening to other young people, hearing the tone and sound of their voices, something special is conveyed. It is a real communication that goes beyond what teachers can convey." Vincent Tatiglia, Deputy Head Teacher, Great Royal Schools Complex, Denu, Ghana
