Project News

Our Project activities have been introduced on two separate television programs in Panama.

The most recent was aired on December 19, 2009, on a program titled "+ de Ambiente" (meaning "more of the environment") on Channel 5 where the National Environmental Authority’s (ANAM’s) history as well as current activities are presented. In the "Current Activities" segment of the show, Alhajuela Project’s activities were given extensive coverage. This website does not support the display of videos, but several images captured from the program are shown below (photos 1-6).

The second program was from a little earlier, on a program called "Raices" (meaning "Roots") on "Ser TV" (channel 11) and aired on October 2, 2008. The television crew came to film the rice planting activities of the group from Tranquilla community. Images from the program are also presented below (photos 7 to 10).
