RCCN; It's A Community Thing!
The Radio Carib Community Network(RCCN) Online
Radio Likkle I “The Voice of the Sun” Community Internet Radio Station & Community Cyber;
Over two years ago the RCCN began the Radio Carib-RAAS Project (RC-RP) to establish a FM community radio in Little Corn Island at the request of the local Communal Board. In August of 2009 the Communal Board approved the location of the radio station and later that year construction began on the studio. Since then the community leaders have had meetings which have brought about the name of the radio station and it’s first Radio Board. The community leaders in a public meeting decided the name of the radio station to be Radio Likkle I ‘The Voice of the Sun’. Likkle a Creole word was selected for use instead of the proper English word little in the name of the station to promote the Black Creole Culture of Nicaragua’s Caribbean Coast.
In the beginning of November 2011 the inside of the Radio Likkle I studio was completed with the help of a NGO know as CommonThreadz whom donated the inside paint. CommonThreadz is building a community learning center right next to the radio station and we look forward to furthering its success as it is in the Mission of Radio Likkle I to help support educational centers that benefit the community.
