| PEOPLE'S RADIO FOR EAST TIMOR
| 
| All this week, 2NCR is participating in a national fundraiser for the
| reconstruction of communications facilities in East Timor.  The project
is
| being co-organised by ex-Station Manager, Andrew Nicholson, and involves
| over 300 media outlets and the aid organisations APHEDA and Community Aid
| Abroad.
| 
| The CNRT, Mr Xanana Gusmao's Committee for National Resistance in East
| Timor, has recognised that accessible radio communication is a major
| priority, and has requested the appeal for funds toward two mobile
| broadcasting units.  They will broadcast in a range of languages and
| dialects to isolated communities, complementing UN efforts in
| reconstructing the national network.  The mobile units will be community
| access and enable information and education to take place in the areas of
| reconstruction, security, health care and the development of a democratic
| East Timor.  They will also be used to solicit feedback and will provide
| training and participation to a diverse population.
| 
| This is an important and tangible project wanted by the people of East
Timor.
| 
| You can pledge your support, until December 6,  by phoning Community Aid
| Abroad on 1800 034 034, by forwarding this message to anyone you think
may
| care to make a pledge, or by listening to your participating Community
