Our Stories,
Our Health

Our Stories, Our Health is a project that has been teaching Vietnamese and Laotian elders to shoot video interviews about health topics they identified as important to their communities. The footage will be used in health workshops throughout the Southeast Asian community in the Philadelphia area. Take a behind-the-scenes look at the project »


The project was started in 2008, as a partnership between WHYY, the Asian Health Initiatives of the University of Pennsylvania, the Southeast Asian Mutual Assistance Associations Coalition, Thomas Jefferson University, and Temple University. It is funded by New Routes to Community Health, a program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Benton Foundation. For more information on the project visit newroutes.org.
