A successful training on radio program production and audition was given to members of Eritrean Movement for Democracy and Human Right (EMDHR) in the city of Pretoria, South Africa. This was done as a collaborative agreement between EMDHR and Tesfadelina foundation. The training was given intensively for one week from the 12^th of Dec 2005 up to the 18^th of Dec 2005 by Mr Tesfalidet Meharena, who is the creator of Asmarino.com and founder of Tesfadelina, and producer of radio Delina. Asmarino.com is one of the many independent Eritrean websites which are operating in exile due to the luck of freedom of expression in Eritrea.

Following the training members of EMDHR have managed to produce a radio program of one hour in Tigringa language which was broadcasted to the whole world on the 18^th of December 2005.  In this first broadcast, current Eritrean news was given and a call for collaborative work was made. More over, different articles along with a short story,  poems and music were aired to the public.

On this occasion, the EMDHR would like to express its deepest gratitude to Mr. Tesfalidet Meharena for his initiative, wisdom and his unfailing material and educational help he gave to EMDHR. Similarly EMDHR would like to thank all Delina  and asmarino staff  for  their indispensable support with out which the joint project would only be a failure.
