“To be honored at next Wednesday’s event at the South African
Consulate General in New York is a marvelous way to bring our work full
circle. We are fortunate to have Louise Monyemangene, the wife of Consul
General George Monyemangene, as a Trustee of CRF,” said Elizabeth Sachs
– founder and president of Bedford, New York based Children Radio
Foundations (CRF) during a brief telephone conversation from her office
on Friday.
Ms Sachs was responding to questions about the significance of an
upcoming luncheon to be hosted in honor of her organization CRF in
observance of World Radio Day.
A Special Invitation from the South African Consulate General’s
office in New York issued by Consul General Mr. Monyemangene indicates
Wednesday’s luncheon will honor both CRF and UNESCO’s “Global
Opportunities and Challenges in Empowering Youth Through Radio” program.
Lunch will be held from 10 am – 3 pm on Wednesday, February 13 at the
Consulate. A special welcoming ceremony has also been scheduled for
South Africa’s favorite radio & TV personality Mr. Gareth Cliff and
You Tube singing sensation Mr. Vicus Visser during the observance.
Preceding Lunch, UNESCO in partnership with the Children’s Radio
Foundation will also host a special program in honor of “Global
Opportunities and Challenges in Empowering Youth Through Radio” from 10
am – 12:30 pm at the United Nations Conference Room 6 at UN
Headquarters.
