Compartiendo in Quilmes

 
 
 

I went outside Buenos Aires today, about 45 minutes South on the motorway to La Plata is a town called Quilmes. After some wrong turns we arrived at a great community radio station which serves the poorer areas of the town. They encourage kids to participate, offer all kinds of social services such as creche and Internet access plus a range of activities to keep in conversation with their audience. I was very impressed by what they were doing on a shoestring budget.
