Review of Digital Diary: Berenice's Story from Ghana - Part 3


Berenice brings her world to life for listeners. I've just listened to the first three installments of her diary. I thought there were six and was greatly disappointed to have to stop after three. But presumably there are more coming. Berenice has a lovely voice for radio and her enthusiasm and sense of humour are very endearing. But there is more to this story than that. She is also thoughtful and articulate on serious issues such as the value of education and her concerns for the health and well being of rural children. The diary also makes some effective use of music and sound. I would like to hear more visual descriptions (like her friend's long eyelashes!) of the people and places she introduces her listeners to. I'm looking forward to the next installment!
