Hi everyone,
We’re still getting a lot of feedback and
messages marking World Radio Day from listeners around the world.
Clearly, this year’s UNESCO theme Radio and
Peace has strung a cord with many of our listeners, who themselves engaged in
spreading the message of hope and peace.
For instance, Jamir Ameel, president of Radio
Romania International Online Visitors Club in Pakistan, wrote in saying The
importance of World Radio Day is that it helps people to understand the power
of radio as a device that can unite the people, educate them. Our listener
also enclosed the two postcards below.
Also from Pakistan, Malik Allah Bachaya Khokhar
representing the Sungat Radio Listeners Club was the recipient of a special
certificate bestowed to him in recognition of his contributing to this year’s
WRD theme as well for his interest in DX-ing. We are very happy to share it
with you.
Rabi Sankar Bosu, who is the founder and
president of New Horizon Radio Listeners’ Club (NHRLC), an independent think-tank
on global affairs, based in West Bengal, India, also wrote to congratulate RRI
on its efforts to celebrate the 12th UNESCO World Radio Day in its
programmes. It’s really encouraging to see that in these times of uncertainty,
the leadership of RRI has affirmed radio’s role in assisting to reduce
tensions, preventing conflicts and fostering peace by acting as a tool for
humanitarian communication, our listener writes, also enclosing the two cards
below.
Also from India, Prithwiraj Purkayastha wrote in
to say Happy World Radio Day 2023, sending us the card below.
And finally, Paul Jamet of France informed us
about a very interesting initiative of a New York-based broadcast engineer
meant to raise funds for war-torn Ukraine and also encourage radio listening.
All the details in the link Paul enclosed.
A warm thank you to everyone who contributed to
making this year’s WRD celebration so successful!
