The Children who have been involved in a media
project, with the Center for Media, Education
and Technology (CMET) have compiled a series of
radio programmes to be broadcast on various radio
stations in the country. Speaking to this press,
one of the trainers of the kids, Ethel Sillah,
said some twenty-three children aged between 16-20
years were initially involved but that due to
the resumption of normal school in September of
2005, fourteen kids remained with the programme.
“We have been training
and working with these kids to help them produce
their own programmes and the result has been
remarkable,” Ethel said. She maintained
that the children have developed great interest
in broadcasting and that a new crop of journalists
is in the making.
Several programmes ranging
from health, sports, economy, human rights and
good governance have been produced and are being
aired on various radio stations in the country.
It is expected that the programme will be on
a web site designed purely for children.
According to journalist
David Tam-Baryoh, Director of CMET, the project
is now in its seventh month and a web page is
being designed and that the general public will
be thrilled when they begin to view and listen
to kids on the Internet as well as the radio.
