A little dampened by the showers from Tropical Storm Nicole the youth of Cayman took to the airwaves on Wednesday to celebrate Caribbean Youth Day with a 3 hour radio broadcast thanks to Radio Cayman, The Youth Services Unit and Youth Flex Radio Show's sponsor PricewaterhouseCoopers. Wednesday also marked the end of Season 27, the Season of Inspiration that was hosted by Takiyah Smith and Joshua McFarlane. The last week in September also means another year in the books for our beloved radio show YouthFlex who has been broadcasting the voices of the youth of the Cayman Islands since September 24, 2001.Nine years old!
The Caribbean Youth Day radio dialogue was hosted by the Regional Youth Caucus Representative of the Cayman Islands Mikhail McLaughlin and his co-hosts was past RYC Kyle McLean and Miss Teen 2010-11 Miss Leanne Ritch from 3-4pm and 5-6pm. Their guests were youth from the Cayman Islands Further Education Centre, John Gray Memorial Church After School programme, Bodden Town FC, and a young lady from Cayman Brac. The programme also took calls from listeners so they heard the voices of those young and young at heart as well.
YouthFlex closed it season of Inspiration with a dialogue with Year 6 students from the primary schools in the George Town district. These schools are George Town Primary, Red Bay Primary , Lighthouse School, and Prospect Primary. George Town Primary was represented by Elianna Anglin, Red Bay Primary was represented by Kalie Broderick and Prospect Primary was represented by Ethan Hydes, Lighthouse school representive Jonathan McField was unable to attend the show due to miscommunication on transportation. We promise to make it up to you Jonathan!
The next season is the Season of Determination hosted by Kimberly Carlos and our first remote brodcast will be at the Lighthouse School, God's willing in October. We will be speaking to Special Olympic Athletes, their Coaches and Jonathan McField.
