This past month, some of my kids from the youth group asked me if we could start a television show. Sounds like a great idea! We have the youth-run community newspaper, the youth-run website and facebook page, and the youth-run weekend radio show, having a television show would only be logical. After meeting with the owner of the local television station, he agreed to give us a one hour show that airs twice a week.
Each week the youth do a show with three segments. The first being youth news, then a social theme such as teenage pregnancy, contamination, etc that consist of interviews, debates, skits, etc., then the last block has celebrity gossip, jokes, and a talent of Arenillas spotlight (bands, artists, artisanal work, etc.).
So for we have filmed 5 episodes and we get better with each one. It was probably one of the highlights of my peace corps experience when the first episode aired and the youth and I gathered around a tv in the municipality to watch the show together, the excitement on their faces was priceless. It is moments like that one that make anything we go through as volunteers worth it.
