Visit to three radio stations in Phnom Penh

Sihanoukville, 17th January 2008. Last Monday finished the 1rst Radio Seminar in the Social Communication Section that was directed by Mr Sarathany during a week. The visit to the Radio Stations was the last part of the seminar and it was also an opportunity to know the ways and advances of radio broadcasting in Cambodia. The first visit was to the National Radio of Cambodia where the students appreciated the new equipment and antennas that are going to be placed in far provinces to make easy communication with farmers. The second radio station belongs to Equal Access, an international NGO that works to create nets of communication around the world, especially in poor countries. The third radio station belongs to a Christian church settled in Cambodia that has excellent installations donated by Dutch donors. The students were very well welcome by the personnel of the three stations and the youth liked what they learned in this intensive seminar. Mr Sarathany is coordinator in a radio station in Banteay Meanchey province and has a degree in radio journalism from the University of Phnom Penh. He got interest with the project of social communication in Don Bosco Sihanoukville and has been very kind to the school.
