Dear Friends,
Thank you so much for your support of our Radio Station in Afghanistan. Over the last three months, the staff have been working to get the final details in place to put the radio station on the air. All necessary equipment is now in place, including the antenna and transistor. The staff have been hard at work developing a schedule for programming and pre-recording shows for air. They have also hired two part time staff members, and are training others to work at the station. They have downloaded music for air, have recorded peaceful and educational speeches, and have prepared topics for live shows. They have even recorded local citizens giving messages of congratulations, which will be aired when the station makes its debut.
Four staff members had the opportunity to travel to the US for training, and as part of this training were able to visit a radio station in California. They were given a tour of the station and were able to learn from communications experts. The staff has now returned to Afghanistan, and is working to put what they’ve learned into practice.
Again, thank you for seeing the value in our new radio station in Afghanistan! We cannot wait for the station to hit the airwaves!
