Subject: [Amarc-info-en] The AMARC 11 Global Conference will be held in
Accra, Ghana in December 2014
To: Marcello Marcello <secretariat@si.amarc.org>

****Montreal****, June 16, 2013. The International Board of Directors of
the World Association of Community Radio Broadcasters (AMARC) is pleased to
announce that the Eleventh World Assembly of Community Radio Broadcasters
will be held from 1 to 5 December 2013 in Accra, Ghana. The Ghana
Community radio Network (GCRN) will host the second Global conference of
community broadcasters to be held in Africa, where community radios were
born in the 80s and have made an important contribution to development
objectives and good governance.****

AMARC 11 will deepen the international solidarity needed to break the
regulatory and other impediments that prevent Community Radio in Africa
from thriving in Africa. It will also showcase the international
experience, including that of the host country Ghana, that demonstrates
irrefutably why Community Radio is the resource par excellence of the
least voiced to enjoy their birthright to communicate and be counted as
necessary partners for equitable and sustainable global development.****

More than 500 community broadcasters and stakeholders from over 110
countries and all regions of the global community radio movement will
gather at the AMARC 11 Global Conference from 1-5 December 2014 to, among
other issues, improve good practices in community media; explore strategies
to facilitate the establishment of enabling legal environments for
community media development, to define knowledge sharing and capacity
building models for action-research and mentoring; to reinforce content
development leading to social change; to facilitate the inclusion of women
and; to encourage the empowerment of communities through appropriation of
community radio for social justice and sustainable, democratic and
participatory human development.******

Many of you will remember CR activist and Forum member, Saritha Thomas, who

a small hamlet near Uchadungi Post, about 70 kms from Kedarnath. Saritha's
People's POWER Collective is active there, working with *Mandakini ki Awaz,
*one of the older CR groups in Uttarakhand. (Manvendra Negi of *Mandakini *is
still waiting for his Wireless License).

In the midst of their travails, Saritha and her team found the time and
grace to write about their host, Manvendra and other "little known heroes
of Uttarakhand<http://www.peoplespower-co.org/little-known-heroes-of-uttarakhand/>

Good luck to you, Saritha, Manvendra, Shweta and Anmol.

warm regards,

Express News Service | 21st June 2013

When Saritha, a resident of Bangalore, moved to Prithvirajnagar, a small
hamlet near Uchadungi Post at Uttarakhand on June 1, she went there with
dreams to set up a community radio station. But now, she, like many others,
is stranded due to flash floods and hoping that the situation would
improve in the next few days.

Saritha Thomas, a resident of Cox Town, had recently relocated to
Prithvirajnagar. She had worked in various radio stations including BBC
World Service Radio.

"I want to set up community radio stations at remote villages in India
where villagers can get to hear programmes in their own language. That's
when, People's P.OW.E.R (Participatory OWnership Empowerment Radio) was
born." The station is yet to go on air.

They chose the first project at Prithvirajnagar, which around 70 km from
Kedarnath.

Sarita said, "For the past four days, we are living without power, water,
signal and no internet connection. We were literally stranded. But things
seemed to be better since Wednesday night.

We were able to get power and thus charge our phones."

"We have come here to set up community radio station which can reach some
15 km radius. I am here to train villagers to run it on their own. We will
not step back. We are just hoping that situation will improve and we will
meet our target," Sarita said.
