Radio Meraj continues its work reaching thousands of people with news and education. The programs are varied including frequent news updates but also such things as a poetry segment. This is a cultural and educational program in which they discuss the lives of different poets and invite poets from the city to recite their poems on air. This is beneficial for the station but also for the poets as they gain experience in reciting and writing and get feedback and comments. People enjoy the moments of contemplation afforded by poetry which is a revered literary form in Afghan culture.
Zi from Herat Airfield who works in the army said, "We soldiers are busy with our daily work and have less time to watch TV or listen to the radio. Although we have a lot of work, we do follow the programs of Meraj Radio and call in to your programs. Your programs make us feel positive and work better and we learned many things from the station programs. I am thankful of you and your programs".
TODAY, your donation can go further! Donate between 9:00am and 11:59pm and help CHI continue its valuable work.
Thank you.
