‘Mirchi Rasta Reporter'

An initiative by Radio Mirchi & CHILDLINE

The Radio Mirchi CHILDLINE Rasta Reporter program is a platform for 50 community youth and street children to be part of the update on air regarding the traffic and flood conditions in the city, for a period of two months for Radio Mirchi !

Three of our partner organizations in Mumbai have identified these youth. The coordinator of our partner organizations will oversee their attendance, daily travel allowance and over all management.

The Reporters will be posted daily in specific parts of the city and given a specific geographic area to travel in every day from 8 AM to 8 PM. Each MIRCHI Rasta Reporter will file a voice report to CHILDLINE Central Call Centre. At the Centre, the designated Radio Mirchi Rasta Report coordinator, will collate the reports and provide a voice feed (phone in) to Radio Mirch, every hour. This will be a bulletin of the situation as reported by the 35 Rasta Reporters.

For all this to happen, Radio Mirchi has provided every reporter with a kit

• 2 branded t-shirts
• Raincoat and Umbrella
• 1 Mobile handset with a pre paid card.
• Rain shoes

Benefits to the Youth
