We draw our motivation from these experiences and see it as a social responsibility to act. The programs will be broadcast on shortwave.

The program will be broadcast twice a day. Everyone works for free and even the studios will not earn any fee. The only thing we have to pay is the powerful transmitter. every fund is welcome [sic]<\/p>\n<p><strong>It appears this crowdfunding campaign started a couple weeks ago.
