RadioUpOnDaMic - OYE El Ritmo Transmitiendo en Vivo

RITMO ONLINE

 Yarli Yanez

En Honduras, los medios de comunicación se han caracterizado por tener poco espacio de expresión para los jóvenes, de aquí parte la necesidad de tener un espacio de expresión juvenil, donde los jóvenes puedan mostrar sus inquietudes y puntos de vista sobre problemas sociales y de esta manera expresarse para ser visibles al resto de la población.

La poca comunicación  que tienen los jóvenes hondureños y las ganas de ser escuchado nos hace saber que debemos trabajar en la expresión, OYE decide en el año 2008 apostar por una proyecto radial, ya que OYE  quiere que los jóvenes se sientan libres para hablar y explorar los temas que son más importantes para ellos, sin miedo al rechazo ó la incomprensión de otros.

Ritmo online es un proyecto de radio online, en él  participan 15 jóvenes progreseños en edades entre 15 a 24 años, que graban y editan por sí mismos los programas. Ellos buscan los medios creativos de presentar los acontecimientos y compartir ideas. Es un grupo cargado de energía que infunde a través de la radio ideas interesantes y frescas.

Transmitiendo los días martes a sábado de 9:00 am – 4 pm

Para escucharlos Radio en Vivo!

OYE REVISTA JOVENES - Marzo y Abril

This is the first edition of OYE Revista Jovenes that is 100% designed and published in-house. A huge thanks to the tireless efforts of graphic designer Oscar Osorio and Revista coordinator Fabiola Oro. Without the overtime and sleepless nights this giant step would not have been possible.

A Reminder: These fundraising efforts are fun and often bring together great people. The more OYE supporters that get involved the better. And, let's face it at the end of the day its a lot more fun to run a race than simply cut a check. OYE has been growing fiercely over the last few years and we need your continued support to sustain our programs. SO thank you very much for your support! We look forward to more events in the future!

East Coast Runs for OYE

Dear Family and Friends,

It's Spring and time to get some exercise and to support the Organization for Youth Empowerment (OYE) in Honduras  at the same time.  I am part of a contingent in DC including Trish, Brian, and Beli taking part in a 5 K run/walk in East Potomac Park.  If you live close, join us, and if not a donation to OYE would be very appreciated.

This iteration of Race4OYE's website is:

This year is an exciting one for OYE which was able to increase the number of scholarships from 50 to 70 low income junior high, high school and university students, thanks to help from folks like you.  OYE has added six dynamic members to its board---four Hondurans and two young persons from the US.  A new Executive Director, Maria de Los Angeles Mejia and Program Director, Dunia Perdomo were recently  hired.  Dunia was one of the first OYE scholars, has graduated from the University, and now wants to give back.  Check out the OYE website to find out more about the exciting impact OYE is having on the youth of Honduras.         www.oyehonduras.org


Thank you very much for your interest in and support of OYE.  

Happy Spring!
