[HCDX] 68H To Rebuild Four Radio Stations in Aceh
From the website for Indonesia's 68H Radio News Agency
http://www.radio68h.com/ . All four stations are FM.
"On Thursday, 6 January 2005, Radio News Agency 68H will send a radio
technical team along with necessary equipment to rebuild radio stations
destroyed in the tsunami in Nangroe Aceh Darussalam.
In Phase One, the first station to be re-established is Radio Prima,
previously broadcast in Banda Aceh on 99,9 FM. At the same time, the 68H
technical team will assist in the setting up of a community radio
station to be managed by activists from Muhamadiyah.
The aim of this initiative is to restore communications among the
inhabitants of Banda Aceh and provide a means of healing and education
post-disaster. 68H hopes that through the rebuilt radio stations, those
living in Aceh can get information about their missing relatives.
In order to increase the effectiveness of the radio broadcasts, 68H
plans to place radios and speakers in 70 refugee centres in Banda Aceh.
This will enable refugees to hear news about the situation in Aceh and
elsewhere, especially important given that most radios were lost in the
tsunami.
In Phase Two, 68H plans to rebuild Radio Dalka in Meulaboh, and Radio
Megaphone in Sigli.
As well as rebuilding radio stations, 68H is also concentrating efforts
on building pump wells to access clean water. This clean water program
is being funded by contributions from 68H listeners to our "We Care For
Aceh" appeal."
