Salam everybody! Hope things are good with you.

Here, although it’s summer time and extremely hot, things are a-buzzing.

Daz Chandler is back and another round of Radio Lajee media training workshops is currently underway with Radio Lajee’s Layan Al Azzeh, Shoroq Assad, Hiba Al Azraq and Mohammad Waleed at the helm.

We’ve spent many a day over the past couple of weeks huddled inside the air-conditioned Lajee Center library, revisiting the objectives behind Radio Lajee, discussing the power of blogging and exploring new ways to make our media content more diverse, vibrant and regular. Check in with us again soon – we’ve got lots of stimulating bits and pieces on the way ; )

The other day when brainstorming some story ideas, we decided that Radio Lajee was due a field trip. So, last Saturday morning we headed to the Palestinian city of Nablus to record a story about the mouth-watering Palestinian dessert, Kanafeh.

The trip was a huge success and proved to be extremely fruitful; Layan, Hiba and Mousa produced audio, photography and video content. Stay tuned, this will all uploaded soon – we promise.

In the meantime, please continue to spread the word about Radio Lajee – the bigger an audience we have the better. And, if you haven’t already, don’t forget to become a fan on Facebook and follow us on Twitter.
