RX Radio April 2020 Newsletter

Apr 9, 2020 | Newsletter

The first edition of the RX Radio Newsletter for 2020 has been released! In light of the COVID-19 pandemic and the National Lockdown in South Africa, we decided to focus on this issue that is affecting all our lives. From experiences of the lockdown to tips on keeping busy, Child and Young Reporters have contributed a great deal to this newsletter and brought it to life.

For the first time ever, this newsletter was compiled using Mailchimp – a marketing site that helps create online newsletters. Generating this edition using this more modern method has definitely been a great experience. There were so many tools and layouts that could be experimented with – the options were endless. However, after much preparation the final design is finally released.

This newsletter can be viewed through email and it can also be viewed online. If you want to keep up with all RX Radio’s updates, experiences and stories, you can view the newsletter or subscribe here:

Siyolise had narrowing in the blood vessels and that led her to have High Blood Pressure. After her story, we will bring you radio diaries of our reporters who are burns survivors as May is the Burns Awareness Month.
