World Poetry Celebrates First Nations Youth!

 

Ariadne’s Notes:

The World Poetry Radio show  with guest host Wanda -John Kehewin  on August 17, 1-2 pm CFRO 100.5 FM was so honoured to  feature two First Nations Youth  in an powerful  show filled with wonderful poetry, music, jokes and even a Happy Birthday song! The message to the youth of the world was exceptional as well as a good message to the children.

I absolutely loved this show-best ever! Thanks to Victor Swartzman for keeping us on the air and reading a Big Bessie story; Don Amero and Wayne Lavallee for the beautiful music.

More later.
