The Morning AMp talks with two graduates of Vocalo's Storytelling Workshop.

“A Portrait of Care” by Eleanore Catolico Elanore bring us a portrait of her mother Maria Catolico. Maria works with patients in the later stages of life as a geriatric nurse. In her work, Maria is confronted every day with a truth most of us avoid thinking about. The end of life.

We've partnered with The Chicago Community Trust, our region’s community foundation, to amplify the stories of Chicago’s philanthropists.

This past spring, we recruited a group of 8 community members, who we trained through our Vocalo Storytelling Workshops. Our first two stories come to us from Gerardo Vasquez and Andrea Montoya.

Gerardo profiled a volunteer group from back of the Yards that works on Immigration issues and raises scholarship money for undocumented students.

Andrea profiled her boyfriend Ricky. He’s a young man growing up in the United States as an undocumented citizen.

The Trust believes that everyone is a philanthropist, and encourages all Chicagoland residents to share their stories at [email protected], or by using the #Trust100 hashtag on social media over the next year.

The next Vocalo Storytellers Workshop will be in Spanish; the application deadline is July 31st. All workshops are free and equipment will be provided. Apply or spread the word: http://bit.ly/1KpEbU3

#OntheTable2015 at Little Village bureau: We had a wonderful listening/feedback session highlighting the importance of digital storytelling to capture stories of community philanthropy. Vocalo Storytellers serve the community by providing a platform to a diversity of voices who have contributed immensely in their community through time, treasure and talent. From maple tree tapping at NU to Wheaton's LGBT community making big things to create better and safer communities.
