A truly rewarding experience I am privileged to enjoy as the director of Ears To Our World<\/a>\u00a0is to work directly with kids and teachers in the countries where we extend our mission.<\/p>\n

This year, photographer\/SWLer\/radio amateur–and good friend–David Korchin (KC2WNW) accompanied me on an ETOW\u00a0distribution trip to inner Belize City. Besides grabbing a few moments\u00a0to enjoy a little SWLing<\/a>, we worked with ETOW partner organization, The Belize Council for the Visually Impaired,\u00a0to place radios with some of the children attending their annual summer camp. \u00a0This was the third year we’ve worked with the BCVI, and it’s been a very rewarding journey.<\/p>\n

Can you imagine what impact a self-powered shortwave radio<\/em>\u00a0might have on a child who is visually-impaired, but whose family can’t readily afford batteries? If you can fill in the answer, you’ll know\u00a0why I do this.<\/p>\n

Today, David posted his photos<\/a>\u00a0from the trip, documenting these truly inspirational children. \u00a0The photos are nothing short of amazing. <\/em>Click here to view the photos on his website: davidkorchin.com<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

You might recognize the radios we’re distributing; they were generously donated by Eton Corporation<\/a> and are shortwave versions of their clever little wind-up workhorse, the\u00a0Rover<\/a>. Eton, incidentally, is celebrating their 27th anniversary<\/a> today.<\/p>\n

And, David–many, many thanks!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
