Youth Vibes

Sorry about the delay in the posts, but we didn't have internet for a day and there was lots going on this weekend. Saturday turned out to be a work day, but it was fun work. We participated in a radio show called "Youth Vibes" on the Dominican Broadcasting Station. Youth Vibes is a radio show put on by the youth in the community and is pretty cool because it gives kids a chance to step outside of their comfort zones and try something different. One of the girls was super shy before she joined the group and now she is outgoing and awesome on the radio. For the broadcast we took the Youth Vibes crew and the Minister of the Environment to a coral reef and did the broadcast from underwater. Jake and Terry put on scuba masks with radios to communicate to the surface and they were able to talk to listeners across the world. We dropped a underwater video camera over the side and they showed the kids what they were seeing and the Youth Vibes kids did a commentary about the coral reef. It was really fun and the kids had a great time. I even got to introduce myself over the radio, but I was was no where near as confident as the kids.
