My husband is an Australian Citizen. He visited Bhutan in February of
this year, and worked as an advisor at BBS, Bhutan Broadcasting
Service). BBS has few trained journalists and is working on revitalizing
the radio programming.

Jon Domagala has just retired after 30 years work at CBC, Canadian
Broadcasting Corporation, and therefore has so much to offer the BBS.
(He
has lived in Canada, yet visits Australia often, where his family still
lives.) He worked at BBS on a volunteer basis this time, but has been
asked
to return to work closely with the journalists there, especially in the
radio service. Jon earned many awards for his documentary sound work on
CBC television and radio. He is a technical sound specialist and has
worked as Associate Producer on CBC radio as well.

He is looking for funding towards airfare from Halifax-Paro-Halifax. I
work in Bhutan for several months a year, on the Thangka Conservation
Project under the Ministry for Home and Cultural Affairs so his living
expenses are taken care of while in Thimphu. I will return this coming
winter for two months, and Jon hopes to find a fund to assist with his
airfare so that he can return to work at BBS.

Please be so kind as to discuss this with your association, and if you
require further information, please contact us at this email address,
