Residents of Orealla, East Berbice-Corentyne (Region Six), are excited at the prospect of soon having their own community radio station.
During a visit to the district on Friday, Toshao David Henry noted that “having a radio station in Orealla is a brilliant decision made by the government since it will place Orealla on the national scene.”
Henry added that the station will ensure that residents are kept abreast with the events in the community and other parts of Guyana.
The Chief Captain further noted the Radio Orealla will be beneficial to the area because it will provide an opportunity for residents to showcase/advertise their products and services.
The radio station is to be commissioned next month and has cost the government approximately $40M – it is 95 percent complete.
It will provide employment opportunity for youths in the area since all the journalists, radio announcers and other technical staff will be selected from the community for training, a Government statement said. Thus far seven persons have already been selected.
Coordinator for Government’s Regional Radio Project, Dr. Rovin Deodat, who was also part of the tour, explained that testing is currently ongoing to ensure that the radio station receives Voice of Guyana. He said this will be followed by the further selection and training of persons to work in the facility.
