My Community Radio Journey: A Chat with Hui Lin Tan

Hui Lin Tan is an organisational psychologist who works  in the Western Australian local government sector. Hui Lin is also a dedicated and passionate Mandarin and English language broadcaster, who believes in the power of giving back to her community and encourages others to reap the benefits of volunteering.

Community radio has a vital role to play in the maintenance of local social networks amongst common interest groups, and provides an important platform for the airing of community concerns. Local community stations also provide a springboard for emerging artists to share their stories.

Help us save our Cockatoo Rescue Programme!

Kaarakin Black Cockatoo Conservation Centre is beginning a crowd-funding campaign to ‘Save our Cockatoo Rescue Programme’, as we are desperately seeking funding to continue to run our cockatoo ambulance, keep our vet nurse, and pay for clinic and rehabilitation aviary supplies for 2015. Our goal amount is $50,000. Luckily for us, the 2014 programme was funded by WWF, however unfortunately they cannot continue the funding for another year so we need your help!
Our campaign is being run through chuffed.org, and is running from November 28th until January 9th. You can access our campaign and see our progress on:
