Monday morning we have to do office work. It gets more interesting in the afternoon when we are going for a radio programme. Tuesday is World Press Freedom Day and Kwamina is doing a special radio programme on it with us volunteers as guests. I am nervous because I don’t really know what we have to do and what we are going to be asked. When we arrive at the station, we have to wait. They are reporting on Bin Laden’s death first. Someone says something about time for a rehearsal but nothing like that happens. Instead we wait, reading the Code of Ethics for journalists, informing ourselves about the Press Freedom Day and watching Ice Age on TV. At about 5pm we are called into the room with the microphones and everything and we start right away. The regional board chairman of Ghana Journalist Association is also present and fortunately he and Kwamina do the most of the talking. We also have a phone call from someone in the States. This guy talks and talks and talks, Kwamina has to stop him by switching the music on. Then he asks us, his international guests, some questions about our experience with media in Ghana. It is not as scary as I expected but it is actually fun and pretty relaxed. I don’t have to do much. I am on the radio - what an experience.
