Rewarding Radio

On the radio side, the unsung heroes are the men and women from the atoll bureaus who had to spend two months in the capital of Male during the training. They had to gather their stories over the phone, but we saw a lot of growth and some outstanding individual achievements.The biggest difference from the TV side was that radio managers never really bought into the training. They thought the reporter sessions were "too basic" for them and they never adopted any of our suggestions beause they think they are doing just fine. While the TV managers came to the podium to accept their awards, radio managers just watched, although Jina (on the right) made a gracious welcoming speech. VOM also awarded us some beautiful Maldivian lacquerware trophies.
