As you have read on the website, the radio show is aired on weekly basis and we are looking out for volunteers who may be able to help by gathering educational news and resources for teachers, promote the show online to others, help mobilize technologies that can enhance our desire to improve the radio program recording and access to the online community, feature as guests on the show and even help in fundraising online to cover the cost of airing the weekly shows and post production.

At the moment, we are spending nearly $400 per week to cover cost of airtime, live guest refreshment and post production. We are looking at options of generating resources to make the show nationwide in Nigeria on air and globally online. I am wondering which aspect of these you may be able to help. Are you able to write some piece on some topics on teacher education or contemporary issues in education and community development that we can use as a discussion materials in any of the shows, or help us in developing a website that can serve as the online version of the weekly on air program?
