"Women united by their strength can contribute to bringing peace to the world. It is precisely on this, on women's unity, that the daily work and commitment of our radio station, RID 96.8 FM, is based. And this is the message we want to share on this Day where our thoughts go out to the people suffering from wars around the world," added Michelle Marie Castiello.

By starting from scratch you learn to walk like a child in your new environment. We at DFP stand by these people to give them the opportunity of a new life," said Volha Marozava).
