Information and Enrichment

The world is full of amazing stories which we will never hear on mainstream media.  But many of them are told each week on the award-winning World Vision Report.  Full of color and human interest, some of the folks you'll meet in this week's edition are children in the West Bank who help with the family income, an eight-year-old mechanic in Pakistan, and passport sellers in Somaliland (where's that?).  Each week the program's international music guide, Ish Mufundikwa, introduces vibrant musicians from all over the globe.  You'll learn of non-profit and government programs designed to meet the devastating needs created by poverty and disaster, and individuals with initiative who have risen above their circumstances.

Peggy Wehmeyer, former correspondent for ABC World News Tonight, is host and managing editor of the show.  She is a terrific interviewer, and the cadre of reporters you'll get to know as you listen to the program really have a sense for story.
