All,

Here is attached the last of the four learning programs developed in last week’s workshop. This one will be located at Tataba and is all about diabetes.

Please feel free to comment and us further develop the programme!

For those with Internet access, the full workshop report and details of each learning program are now being put up on the Wikieducator pages below (wikis are editable and you can help, develop them! Especially Paul who is trained in the wiki....)

All,

(Isabel Stations please print or allow all the radio production team to read these messages!)

Tataba and Sigana are currently starting their series of radio programmes on Health Lifestyle – about diabetes (Khabru Mamahe). Susubona is also working on their Healthy Environment series (Nha Au Fa Keli).

To remind you, you can download the programme operational plans and hear the first programs from each site, on the Ning (http://isabel-youth.ning.com). You don’t need to be a member. You should be able to see the “Documents” and ”Audio Downloads”.

Tataba and Sigana recorded their second programme about a weeks ago and broadcast it first week January. Tataba reported that the radio programme plan was reviewed by the health team down there and approval for the contents was given by Isabel Health Services. That shows one important element in the collaboration is working. We hope they will share with us the details of the programme and what was recorded, by who and how it was received. The idea is that they record the broadcast on tape (and also the digital recordings on CD) which eventually find its way to Guguha so it can be uploaded to the Ning and we will hear the programme. They should also be sending us details of their next programme so we can help them with ideas and inputs.

Susubona have their email radio under repair but it has just been fixed. So we hope to hear how they are getting on soon. We had some early technical issues but they have mostly been resolved. Both Tataba and Susubona had faulty transmitters but they are now back in place and working. Kia’s is being fixed as well.

We also had issues with filtering which had prevented the email stations receiving this list. After PFnet moved to a new ISP we have resolved that, and verified that the PFnet stations should be getting these postings!

Obviously things will get clearer as the wheels become well oiled.

Please do send in ideas for the radio series! (I suggest you read the operational plans which have the formats and templates). Listen to the drama that we started in Khabru Mamahe and Nha Au Fa Keli!

The next series of workshops are now ongoing. Tony Matelaomao from PFNet and Walter Turasi from SIDT have been running the workshops in Kia this week, with representatives from Sisiga and Samasodu. They will then do one in Buala, with Paul from Guguha taking part. This should start theprocess of health radio programmes in those two communities.

Kia’s subject is “Teenage Pregnancy”, so it will be quite a serious and delicate matter and will test all of the production teams. We will benefit from the close working relationship with Isabel Health Services, with Sister Melody and Jack Hou, and Roslyn in Kia, who are obviously well skilled in communicating about such issues in a suitable way.

Buala’s topic is about health environment and health risks from not managing waste, rubbish and maintaining clean seas and waterways. It is targeted at the very young, so we hope the Kindy and Schools will be involved.
