Radio Almahaba
I'm supposed to be starting a bit of design work for a friend back home, concerning the newest program within her NGO, Opportunities for Kids, International. I thought you guys might want to take a peek.
It's called Radio Almahaba. Almahaba means love in Arabic. The Station broadcasts a combination of music (Western and Middle Eastern) and talk, and focuses primarily on women's issues and the role of women in Iraq today. The station allows women to listen in the privacy and safety of their own homes (public interest in such issues could threaten their safety, in fact, women who work at the station have been threatened). It also allows them to particiapate in the discussions by calling in. Many of the broadcasters are women, and serve as an important example in a country where women's rights are sliding dangerously backwards.
Take a look at Opportunities for Kids, International online and their new project, Radio Almahaba.
There was an excellent article in the Buffalo News today, which is well-worth reading (Don Esmonde is my hometown hero).
You can also hear the spot on National Public Radio.

Kris - what kind of design work are you doing? That's great that you can do this long-distance.
I'm supposed to work on a brochure for them. They're starting a cycle of fund-raising. The long-distance won't be a problem . . . I can just send the files I need to the printer.
The tricky part is that I'm still using a very old version of Quark and staddling OS 9 and OS X on the Mac, and, I'm rusty. :)
