Radio Workshop: Tree planting

Climate Ambassadors planting trees at the Zambian Children

Welcome to the Radio Workshop!

Trees provide us with timber for building, wood for furniture, pulp for paper, fruit and seeds for food and medicine, and they’re home to many insects and animals. But do we ever give much thought to what happens once a tree is cut down for our use? The Radio Workshop is celebrating Arbour Month this September. We found out from youth in Zambia what trees mean to them, and how they are changing their communities one tree at a time!

Radio Workshop: Celebrating Women

Aaniyah, Riyadh and Madyo Omardien

Welcome to the Radio Workshop!

The Radio Workshop spoke to a matriarch, a new mother and a group of teenage girls. They share their experience of womanhood in celebration of Woman’s Day. They range in age from 61 to 13 years old but all are connected by a sense of purpose, love, learning and gratitude. We’re again reminded that an entire generation of women nursed South Africa to freedom and democracy, and that the view we have of our future is only because we stand on the shoulders of giants.
