same techniques. The Digital Storytelling Centre in California
pioneered digital storytelling and Lesley Jenkins will talk
about the training workshop she attended as part of her
Churchill Fellowship.



Helen Klaebe, public historian on the Kelvin Grove Urban Village
History Project, will talk about creating her own digital story
and about helping others to create theirs as part of the history
project..



Helen and Lesley will show examples of their work.



When: Thursday 23 February 2006

6.00 pm - 7.30 pm

(The Annual General Meeting and Committee Meeting of the Oral
History Association of Australia (Qld Inc.) will be conducted
during the evening).



Where: Central City library meeting room (lower
ground level, City Plaza) Cnr Ann, George and Adelaide Sts,
Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.

Making positive choices, writing her own life story

Making positive choices, writing her own life story
By JoAnn Knutson
12/28/2005

Kachiri McElroy is a 17-year-old girl who has taken charge of her life and is writing her own story. The first chapter in Kachiri’s story was finished Dec. 16, when she was presented with her General Education Development certificate.

The second chapter is still a blank page, but she is determined it will continue to be a story that will make her parents, Heather and Erwin McElroy, proud.

Kachiri made some bad choices early in her life and landed in the Adams County Youth Correctional facility in Brighton. The experience was a wake-up call to the slight, talkative teen who is determined to make something of her life.

In the beginning, Kachiri said she decided to try for her GED just to see what she could do.

“I didn’t think I was smart enough to do it, but now I know I am,” she said.

After her release, Kachiri wants to attend Front Range Community College and study criminal law. Her dream is to help troubled juveniles before they find themselves in a locked facility.

Kachiri’s mother said she is proud of her daughter.

“I’m happy for her,” Heather McElroy said. “She had a goal, and she completed it.”
