[cma-l] cma-l Digest, Vol 30, Issue 20

Mon Jan 18 11:53:09 GMT 2010

Hello

I just wanted to add to this post regarding Haiti and raising awareness for anyone not 
on the CRT list. There was a collective effort amongst stations on Friday to find audio 
and scripts for common use to the publicise the DEC appeal. 

This audio has been made available on the Community Radio Toolkit website 
(http://www.communityradiotoolkit.net) and the forums contain a message of thanks 
from the DEC for community radio's support so far.
