Storybook Waves - Remote Recording
What is it?
Aggie’s Storybook Waves enables personnel serving in the Royal Navy, Royal Marines and Royal Fleet Auxiliary to record a bedtime story for their children to listen to whilst they are separated.
The Royal Navy, Royal Marines and the Royal Fleet Auxiliary deploy more frequently than personnel in the other services. Leaving loved ones behind when serving overseas or on board a ship, is a feature of life in the most 'separated service.' These separations can be especially difficult for children. Storybook Waves exists to help maintain the link between parent and child, no matter how far apart they may be.
Storybook Waves provides facilities for anyone serving away from home to record a bedtime story for their child. Once recorded, trained volunteer editors add a soundtrack and create a story for each child so they can listen to a parent’s voice whenever they want.
