New Dawn is a community radio station on the island of Bougainville. Bougainville is in the South Pacific Ocean, very close to the Solomon Islands. It is a part of the country of Papua New Guinea. But it has an independent local government. However, as Mr Laukai says, Bougainville has not always been peaceful. .... New Dawn FM has three main kinds of programs: local events, community programs and programs about peace and reconciliation. For local events, New Dawn broadcasts programs about local weather, traffic and health. They also broadcast about local and national politics. ....... Bringing people together is a major aim of New Dawn FM. New Dawn has a special interest in reporting local reconciliation events. These build peace between people who were divided by the conflict. This is difficult to do after many years of fighting. ...... - See more at: spotlightenglish/listen/new-dawn-community-radio-on-bougainville#sthash.NrAQ6PRj.dpuf
