I’m very glad, that participated in this training. I will share my obtaining knowledge with my friends who are working as volunteers. I also realized, that we need to take active part in solving common problems of our soum. Basing on my knowledge I’ll try to write a project proposal to the Local Development Fund for a fundraising of the activities of our radio. Training on how to write a project proposal and introduction  of the Local development Fund were very useful for me. I would like ask to organize this kind of training among our volunteers.

Our soum has about nine thousand people. In Mongolian standard it’s a huge populated soum. During this training I realized that, I have a big chance to organize a Listener’s club among youth, especially school students. Before coming to city I had conduct the survey among youth who has a smart phone. It’s about 300 youth to had a smart phone in our soum. Young people, who had involved to my survey said to me that, they want to participate in an activities of local radio. Only the problem which our radio facing is the heating of radio station. We have very harsh winter. During the winter time we usually stops our activities.
